A new Mirai-based botnet called NoaBot is being used by threat actors as part of a crypto mining campaign since the beginning of 2023. “The capabilities of the new botnet, NoaBot, include a wormable self-spreader and an SSH key backdoor to download and execute additional binaries or spread itself to new victims,” Akamai security researcher Stiv Kupchik said in a report shared with The

An attacker can cause its peer to run out of memory sending a large number of PATH_CHALLENGE frames. The receiver is supposed to respond to each PATH_CHALLENGE frame with a PATH_RESPONSE frame. The attacker can prevent the receiver from sending out (the vast majority of) these PATH_RESPONSE frames by collapsing the peers congestion window (by selectively acknowledging received packets) and by manipulating the peer's RTT estimate. I published a more detailed description of the attack and its mitigation in this blog post: https://seemann.io/posts/2023-12-18-exploiting-quics-path-validation/ There's no way to mitigate this attack, please update quic-go to a version that contains the fix.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6541-2 - USN-6541-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the GNU C Library. Unfortunately, changes made to allow proper application of the fix for CVE-2023-4806 in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS introduced an issue in the NSCD service IPv6 processing functionalities. This update fixes the problem.

Gentoo Linux Security Advisory 202401-14 - A denial of service vulnerability has been found in RedCloth. Versions greater than or equal to 4.3.2-r5 are affected.

Gentoo Linux Security Advisory 202401-13 - Multiple denial of service vulnerabilities have been found in FAAD2. Versions greater than or equal to 2.11.0 are affected.

PSOProxy version 0.5 suffers from a denial of service vulnerability.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6573-1 - Lucas Leong discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate some attributes passed from userspace. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly expose sensitive information. Kyle Zeng discovered that the IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle socket buffers when performing IP routing in certain circumstances, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6572-1 - Yu Hao discovered that the UBI driver in the Linux kernel did not properly check for MTD with zero erasesize during device attachment. A local privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. 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 6548-4 - It was discovered that Spectre-BHB mitigations were missing for Ampere processors. A local attacker could potentially use this to expose sensitive information. It was discovered that the USB subsystem in the Linux kernel contained a race condition while handling device descriptors in certain situations, leading to a out-of-bounds read vulnerability. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service.
