Ubuntu Security Notice 6584-1 - Philipp Jeitner and Haya Shulman discovered that Libspf2 incorrectly handled certain inputs. If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that Libspf2 incorrectly handled certain inputs. If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6581-1 - It was discovered that GNU binutils was not properly performing bounds checks in several functions, which could lead to a buffer overflow. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service, expose sensitive information or execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that GNU binutils incorrectly handled memory management operations in several of its functions, which could lead to excessive memory consumption due to memory leaks. An attacker could possibly use these issues to cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6582-1 - Several security issues were discovered in the WebKitGTK Web and JavaScript engines. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious website, a remote attacker could exploit a variety of issues related to web browser security, including cross-site scripting attacks, denial of service attacks, and arbitrary code execution.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6580-1 - It was discovered that w3m incorrectly handled certain HTML files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash or execute arbitrary code.

HaoKeKeJi YiQiNiu versions up to 3.1 suffer from a server-side request forgery vulnerability.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6578-1 - Vishal Mishra and Anita Gaud discovered that .NET did not properly validate X.509 certificates with malformed signatures. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass an application's typical authentication logic. Morgan Brown discovered that .NET did not properly handle requests from unauthenticated clients. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6560-2 - USN-6560-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in OpenSSH. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. 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 6579-1 - It was discovered that Xerces-C++ was not properly handling memory management operations when parsing XML data containing external DTDs, which could trigger a use-after-free error. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted XML document, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6574-1 - Takeshi Kaneko discovered that Go did not properly handle comments and special tags in the script context of html/template module. An attacker could possibly use this issue to inject Javascript code and perform a cross site scripting attack. This issue only affected Go 1.20 in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 23.04. It was discovered that Go did not properly validate the "//go:cgo_" directives during compilation. An attacker could possibly use this issue to inject arbitrary code during compile time.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6562-2 - USN-6562-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox. The update introduced several minor regressions. This update fixes the problem. Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information across domains, or execute arbitrary code. DoHyun Lee discovered that Firefox did not properly manage memory when used on systems with the Mesa VM driver. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code. George Pantela and Hubert Kario discovered that Firefox using multiple NSS NIST curves which were susceptible to a side-channel attack known as "Minerva". An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to obtain sensitive information. Andrew Osmond discovered that Firefox did not properly validate the textures produced by remote decoders. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue...
