Ubuntu Security Notice 5754-1 - It was discovered that the NFSD implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle some RPC messages, leading to a buffer overflow. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that a memory leak existed in the IPv6 implementation of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5753-1 - The Qualys Research Team discovered that a race condition existed in the snapd snap-confine binary when preparing the private /tmp mount for a snap. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5752-1 - David Bouman and Billy Jheng Bing Jhong discovered that a race condition existed in the io_uring subsystem in 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. Soenke Huster discovered that an integer overflow vulnerability existed in the WiFi driver stack in the Linux kernel, leading to a buffer overflow. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5718-2 - USN-5718-1 fixed a vulnerability in pixman. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and Ubuntu 16.04 ESM. Maddie Stone discovered that pixman incorrectly handled certain memory operations. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause pixman to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5750-1 - It was discovered that GnuTLS incorrectly handled certain memory operations. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause GnuTLS to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5749-1 - Erik de Castro Lopo and Agostino Sarubbo discovered that libsamplerate did not properly perform bounds checking. If a user were tricked into processing a specially crafted audio file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5728-3 - Jann Horn discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly track memory allocations for anonymous VMA mappings in some situations, leading to potential data structure reuse. 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 memory address space accounting implementation in 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 5745-2 - USN-5745-1 fixed vulnerabilities in shadow. Unfortunately that update introduced a regression that caused useradd to behave incorrectly in Ubuntu 14.04 ESM, Ubuntu 16.04 ESM, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. This update reverts the security fix pending further investigation.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5748-1 - It was discovered that Sysstat incorrectly handled certain arithmetic multiplications. An attacker could use this issue to cause Sysstat to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5689-2 - USN-5689-1 fixed a vulnerability in Perl. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 22.10. It was discovered that Perl incorrectly handled certain signature verification. An remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass signature verification.
