GHSA-rmxg-6qqf-x8mr: GeoNode Server Side Request forgery

### Summary A server side request forgery vuln was found within geonode when testing on a bug bounty program. Server side request forgery allows a user to request information on the internal service/services. ### Details The endpoint /proxy/?url= does not properly protect against SSRF. when using the following format you can request internal hosts and display data. /proxy/?url=http://169.254.169.254\@whitelistedIPhere. This will state wether the AWS internal IP is alive. If you get a 404, the host is alive. A non alive host will not display a response. To display metadata, use a hashfrag on the url /proxy/?url=http://169.254.169.254\@#whitelisteddomain.com or try /proxy/?url=http://169.254.169.254\@%23whitelisteddomain.com ### Impact Port scan internal hosts, and request information from internal hosts.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7118-1

Ubuntu Security Notice 7118-1 - It was discovered that ZBar did not properly handle certain QR codes. If a user or automated system using ZBar were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could possibly use this to obtain sensitive information. It was discovered that ZBar did not properly handle certain QR codes. If a user or automated system using ZBar were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could possibly use this to obtain sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

Debian Security Advisory 5816-1

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5816-1 - The Qualys Threat Research Unit discovered that libmodule-scandeps-perl, a Perl module to recursively scan Perl code for dependencies, allows an attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands via specially crafted file names.

Debian Security Advisory 5815-1

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5815-1 - The Qualys Threat Research Unit discovered several local privilege escalation vulnerabilities in needrestart, a utility to check which daemons need to be restarted after library upgrades. A local attacker can execute arbitrary code as root by tricking needrestart into running the Python interpreter with an attacker-controlled PYTHONPATH environment variable (CVE-2024-48990) or running the Ruby interpreter with an attacker-controlled RUBYLIB environment variable (CVE-2024-48992). Additionally a local attacker can trick needrestart into running a fake Python interpreter (CVE-2024-48991) or cause needrestart to call the Perl module Module::ScanDeps with attacker-controlled files (CVE-2024-11003).

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7123-1

Ubuntu Security Notice 7123-1 - It was discovered that the CIFS network file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate certain SMB messages, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly expose sensitive information. Supraja Sridhara, Benedict Schlüter, Mark Kuhne, Andrin Bertschi, and Shweta Shinde discovered that the Confidential Computing framework in the Linux kernel for x86 platforms did not properly handle 32-bit emulation on TDX and SEV. An attacker with access to the VMM could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7089-7

Ubuntu Security Notice 7089-7 - Chenyuan Yang discovered that the USB Gadget subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly check for the device to be enabled before writing. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7117-1

Ubuntu Security Notice 7117-1 - Qualys discovered that needrestart passed unsanitized data to a library which expects safe input. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code as root. Qualys discovered that the library libmodule-scandeps-perl incorrectly parsed perl code. This could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands.
