Ubuntu Security Notice 5682-1 - It was discovered that the BPF verifier in the Linux kernel did not properly handle internal data structures. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. It was discovered that an out-of-bounds write vulnerability existed in the Video for Linux 2 implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5680-1 - It was discovered that gThumb did not properly managed memory when processing certain image files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted JPEG file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause gThumb to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that gThumb did not properly handled certain malformed image files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted JPEG file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause gThumb to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5683-1 - It was discovered that the framebuffer driver on the Linux kernel did not verify size limits when changing font or screen size, leading to an out-of- bounds write. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Selim Enes Karaduman discovered that a race condition existed in the General notification queue implementation 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.

The Import all XML, CSV & TXT WordPress plugin before 6.5.8 does not properly sanitise and escape imported data before using them back SQL statements, leading to SQL injection exploitable by high privilege users such as admin

The WP Custom Cursors WordPress plugin through 3.0 does not properly sanitise and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement, leading to a SQL injection exploitable by high privileged users such as admin

The Search Logger WordPress plugin through 0.9 does not properly sanitise and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement, leading to a SQL injection exploitable by high privilege users

The Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload WordPress plugin before 1.3.6.5 does not properly check for the upload size limit set in forms, taking the value from user input sent when submitting the form. As a result, attackers could control the file length limit and bypass the limit set by admins in the contact form.

GoCD is a continuous delivery server. GoCD helps you automate and streamline the build-test-release cycle for continuous delivery of your product. GoCD versions from 19.2.0 to 19.10.0 (inclusive) are subject to a timing attack in validation of access tokens due to use of regular string comparison for validation of the token rather than a constant time algorithm. This could allow a brute force attack on GoCD server API calls to observe timing differences in validations in order to guess an access token generated by a user for API access. This issue is fixed in GoCD version 19.11.0. As a workaround, users can apply rate limiting or insert random delays to API calls made to GoCD Server via a reverse proxy or other fronting web server. Another workaround, users may disallow use of access tokens by users by having an administrator revoke all access tokens through the "Access Token Management" admin function.
