Ubuntu Security Notice 7055-1 - Goldberg, Miro Haller, Nadia Heninger, Mike Milano, Dan Shumow, Marc Stevens, and Adam Suhl discovered that FreeRADIUS incorrectly authenticated certain responses. An attacker able to intercept communications between a RADIUS client and server could possibly use this issue to forge responses, bypass authentication, and access network devices and services. This update introduces new configuration options called "limit_proxy_state" and "require_message_authenticator" that default to "auto" but should be set to "yes" once all RADIUS devices have been upgraded on a network.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7054-1 - It was discovered that unzip did not properly handle unicode strings under certain circumstances. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted zip file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause unzip to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Authd PAM module up to version 0.3.4 can allow broker-managed users to impersonate any other user managed by the same broker and perform any PAM operation with it, including authenticating as them. This is possible using tools such as `su`, `sudo` or `ssh` (and potentially others) that, so far, do not ensure that the PAM user at the end of the transaction is matching the one who initiated the transaction. Authd 0.3.5 fixes this by not allowing changing the user unless it was never set before in the PAM stack. `su` version that will include https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/pull/3206 will not be affected `ssh` version that will include https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/pull/521 will not be affected `sudo` version that will include https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo/pull/412 will not be affected `login` not affected `passwd` not affected <details> <summary>Old report</summary> ### Summary An user can access as another user using its own credentials ### Details ...

`JUJU_CONTEXT_ID` is the authentication measure on the unit hook tool abstract domain socket. It looks like `JUJU_CONTEXT_ID=appname/0-update-status-6073989428498739633`. This value looks fairly unpredictable, but due to the random source used, it is highly predictable. `JUJU_CONTEXT_ID` has the following components: - the application name - the unit number - the hook being currently run - a uint63 decimal number On a system the application name and unit number can be deduced by reading the structure of the filesystem. The current hook being run is not easily deduce-able, but is a limited set of possible values, so one could try them all. Finally the random number, this is generated from a non cryptographically secure random source. Specifically the random number generator built into the go standard library, using the current unix time in seconds (at startup) as the seed. There is no rate limiting on the abstract domain socket, the only limiting factor is time (window of time the h...

Ubuntu Security Notice 7021-4 - Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.

dizqueTV version 1.5.3 suffers from a remote code execution vulnerability.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7052-1 - It was discovered that GNOME Shell mishandled extensions that fail to reload, possibly leading to extensions staying enabled on the lock screen. An attacker could possibly use this issue to launch applications, view sensitive information, or execute arbitrary commands. It was discovered that the GNOME Shell incorrectly handled certain keyboard inputs. An attacker could possibly use this issue to invoke keyboard shortcuts, and potentially other actions while the workstation was locked.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7051-1 - Fabian Bäumer, Marcus Brinkmann, Joerg Schwenk discovered that the SSH protocol was vulnerable to a prefix truncation attack. If a remote attacker was able to intercept SSH communications, extension negotiation messages could be truncated, possibly leading to certain algorithms and features being downgraded. This issue is known as the Terrapin attack. This update adds protocol extensions to mitigate this issue.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7047-1 - Vladimír Čunát discovered that Knot Resolver incorrectly handled input during DNSSEC validation. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass certain validations. Vladimír Čunát discovered that Knot Resolver incorrectly handled input during DNSSEC validation. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to downgrade DNSSEC-secure domains to a DNSSEC-insecure state, resulting in a domain hijacking attack.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7050-1 - Benoit Côté-Jodoin and Michael Nipper discovered that Devise-Two-Factor incorrectly handled one-time password validation. An attacker could possibly use this issue to intercept and re-use a one-time password. Garrett Rappaport discovered that Devise-Two-Factor incorrectly handled generating multi-factor authentication codes. An attacker could possibly use this issue to generate valid multi-factor authentication codes.
