USN-4165-1: Firefox vulnerabilities firefox vulnerabilities A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: Ubuntu 19.10 Ubuntu 19.04 Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Summary Firefox could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened a malicious website. Software Description firefox – Mozilla Open Source web browser Details Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, bypass security restrictions, bypass same-origin restrictions, conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, bypass content security policy (CSP) protections, or execute arbitrary code. Update instructions The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 19.10 firefox – 70.0+build2-0ubuntu0.19.10.1 Ubuntu 19.04 firefox – 70.0+build2-0ubuntu0.19.04.1 Ubuntu 18.04 LTS firefox – 70.0+build2-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 Ubuntu [ more… ]

USN-4162-2: Linux kernel (Azure) vulnerabilities linux-azure vulnerabilities A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: Ubuntu 14.04 ESM Summary Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description linux-azure – Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems Details USN-4162-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems for Ubuntu 14.04 ESM. It was discovered that the RSI 91x Wi-Fi driver in the Linux kernel did not did not handle detach operations correctly, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-21008) Wen Huang discovered that the Marvell Wi-Fi device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly perform bounds checking, leading [ more… ]

USN-4163-2: Linux kernel (Xenial HWE) vulnerabilities linux-lts-xenial, linux-aws vulnerabilities A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: Ubuntu 14.04 ESM Summary Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description linux-aws – Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems linux-lts-xenial – Linux hardware enablement kernel from Xenial for Trusty Details USN-4163-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for Ubuntu 14.04 ESM. It was discovered that a race condition existed in the ARC EMAC ethernet driver for the Linux kernel, resulting in a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2016-10906) It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) implementation [ more… ]
