Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information across domains, or execute arbitrary code. DoHyun Lee discovered that Firefox did not properly manage memory when used on systems with the Mesa VM driver. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code. George Pantela and Hubert Kario discovered that Firefox using multiple NSS NIST curves which were susceptible to a side-channel attack known as "Minerva". An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to obtain sensitive information. Andrew Osmond discovered that Firefox did not properly validate the textures produced by remote decoders. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue...

SimpleWebServer version 2.2-rc2 remote denial of service exploit.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6576-1 - Lonial Con discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle an expired catchall element in some situations, 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 6549-5 - 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. Lin Ma discovered that the Netlink Transformation subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize a policy data structure, leading to an out-of-bounds vulnerability. A local privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly expose sensitive information.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6548-5 - 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.

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.

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.
