Ubuntu Security Notice 7130-1 - It was discovered that GitHub CLI incorrectly handled username validation. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform remote code execution if the user connected to a malicious server.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7125-1 - It was discovered that RapidJSON incorrectly parsed numbers written in scientific notation, leading to an integer underflow. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6988-2 - USN-6988-1 fixedCVE-2024-41671 in Twisted. The USN incorrectly stated that previous releases were unaffected. This update provides the equivalent fix for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Ben Kallus discovered that Twisted incorrectly handled response order when processing multiple HTTP requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to delay and manipulate responses. This issue only affected Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7129-1 - It was discovered that TinyGLTF performed file path expansion in an insecure way on certain inputs. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7128-1 - Sebastian Chnelik discovered that Pygments had an inefficient regex query for analyzing certain inputs. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7117-2 - USN-7117-1 fixed vulnerabilities in needrestart. The update introduced a regression in needrestart. This update fixes the problem. 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.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7121-3 - Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7124-1 - Andy Boothe discovered that the Networking component of OpenJDK 23 did not properly handle access under certain circumstances. An unauthenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the Hotspot component of OpenJDK 23 did not properly handle vectorization under certain circumstances. An unauthenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to access unauthorized resources and expose sensitive information.

This Metasploit module exploits vulnerabilities in OpenPrinting CUPS, which is running by default on most Linux distributions. The vulnerabilities allow an attacker on the LAN to advertise a malicious printer that triggers remote code execution when a victim sends a print job to the malicious printer. Successful exploitation requires user interaction, but no CUPS services need to be reachable via accessible ports. Code execution occurs in the context of the lp user. Affected versions are cups-browsed less than or equal to 2.0.1, libcupsfilters versions 2.1b1 and below, libppd versions 2.1b1 and below, and cups-filters versions 2.0.1 and below.

Qualys discovered that needrestart suffers from multiple local privilege escalation vulnerabilities that allow for root access from an unprivileged user.
