Ubuntu Security Notice 6685-1 - It was discovered that mqtt-client incorrectly handled memory while parsing malformed MQTT frames. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-1239-03 - An update for opencryptoki is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.

Xingyuan Mo discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle inactive elements in its PIPAPO data structure, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that the IGMP protocol implementation in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-1188-03 - An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6 Extended Update Support. Issues addressed include code execution, denial of service, memory leak, out of bounds read, out of bounds write, and use-after-free vulnerabilities.

IBM recently released their 2024 X-Force Threat Intelligence Index.According to IBM, this report offers data on the threat landscape “as a resource to IBM clients, researchers in the security industry, policy makers, the media, and the broader community of security professionals and business leaders. It’s [their] intent to keep all parties informed of the current threat landscape so they can make the best decisions for reducing risk.”Part of the threat landscape includes an analysis from Red Hat Insights on the aggregated threats that the Insights team can see affects Red Hat customers.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6653-1 - It was discovered that a race condition existed in the ATM subsystem of the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that a race condition existed in the AppleTalk networking subsystem of the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6648-1 - It was discovered that a race condition existed in the AppleTalk networking subsystem of the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Zhenghan Wang discovered that the generic ID allocator implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly check for null bitmap when releasing IDs. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.

From FIPS 140-3 to Common Criteria to DISA STIGs, Red Hat is constantly pursuing the next iteration of compliance for our customers. Red Hat’s mission has long been to bring community innovation to enterprise organizations, packaged in a hardened, production-ready form. This isn’t just about packaging and testing, however; we take extra steps to bring these emerging capabilities in-line with some of the most stringent secure computing standards and requirements in the world. Innovation by itself isn’t enough for public sector agencies or the companies that serve these organizations. Inst

Ubuntu Security Notice 6584-2 - USN-6584-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. This update provides the corresponding updates for CVE-2021-33912 andCVE-2021-33913 in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Philipp Jeitner and Haya Shulman discovered that Libspf2 incorrectly handled certain inputs. If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

Useful quantum computers aren’t a reality—yet. But in one of the biggest deployments of post-quantum encryption so far, Apple is bringing the technology to iMessage.
