Today, Talos is publishing a glimpse into the most prevalent threats we've observed between Oct. 13 and Oct. 20. As with previous roundups, this post isn't meant to be an in-depth analysis. Instead, this post will summarize the threats we've observed by highlighting key

Ubuntu Security Notice 6446-1 - Ross Lagerwall discovered that the Xen netback backend driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain unusual packets from a paravirtualized network frontend, leading to a buffer overflow. An attacker in a guest VM could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Bien Pham discovered that the netfiler subsystem in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local user could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6440-1 - Seth Jenkins discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly perform address randomization for a per-cpu memory management structure. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information or in conjunction with another kernel vulnerability. It was discovered that the IPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel contained a high rate of hash collisions in connection lookup table. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6441-1 - Ross Lagerwall discovered that the Xen netback backend driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain unusual packets from a paravirtualized network frontend, leading to a buffer overflow. An attacker in a guest VM could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Kyle Zeng discovered that the networking stack implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate skb object size in certain conditions. An attacker could use this cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6439-1 - It was discovered that the IPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel contained a high rate of hash collisions in connection lookup table. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Yu Hao and Weiteng Chen discovered that the Bluetooth HCI UART driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.

The Auto Amazon Links plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the style parameter in versions up to, and including, 5.3.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor access to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Taking a “Security Action” of any kind — whether it be simply enabling multi-factor authentication for your online banking login or marking that weird email as spam — can go a long way toward you and any organizations you’re a part of be more security resilient.
