A group of academics has devised a novel side-channel attack dubbed iLeakage that exploits a weakness in the A- and M-series CPUs running on Apple iOS, iPadOS, and macOS devices, enabling the extraction of sensitive information from the Safari web browser. "An attacker can induce Safari to render an arbitrary webpage, subsequently recovering sensitive information present within it using

Ubuntu Security Notice 6416-2 - It was discovered that the IPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel contained a high rate of hash collisions in connection lookup table. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Daniël Trujillo, Johannes Wikner, and Kaveh Razavi discovered that some AMD processors utilising speculative execution and branch prediction may allow unauthorised memory reads via a speculative side-channel attack. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information, including kernel memory.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6412-1 - Hyunwoo Kim discovered that the DVB Core driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition during device removal, leading to a use-after- free vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Hyunwoo Kim discovered that the Technotrend/Hauppauge USB DEC driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle device removal events. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2023-5419-01 - The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Issues addressed include information leakage, privilege escalation, and use-after-free vulnerabilities.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2023-5091-01 - The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements. Issues addressed include bypass, information leakage, and use-after-free vulnerabilities.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2023-5068-01 - The linux-firmware packages contain all of the firmware files that are required by various devices to operate. Issues addressed include an information leakage vulnerability.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6342-2 - Tavis Ormandy discovered that some AMD processors did not properly handle speculative execution of certain vector register instructions. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. Zheng Zhang discovered that the device-mapper implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle locking during table_clear operations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6325-1 - Daniel Moghimi discovered that some Intel Processors did not properly clear microarchitectural state after speculative execution of various instructions. A local unprivileged user could use this to obtain to sensitive information. Tavis Ormandy discovered that some AMD processors did not properly handle speculative execution of certain vector register instructions. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6321-1 - Daniel Moghimi discovered that some Intel Processors did not properly clear microarchitectural state after speculative execution of various instructions. A local unprivileged user could use this to obtain to sensitive information. Tavis Ormandy discovered that some AMD processors did not properly handle speculative execution of certain vector register instructions.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6319-1 - Daniël Trujillo, Johannes Wikner, and Kaveh Razavi discovered that some AMD processors utilising speculative execution and branch prediction may allow unauthorized memory reads via a speculative side-channel attack. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information, including kernel memory.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5475-1 - Daniel Moghimi discovered Gather Data Sampling (GDS), a hardware vulnerability for Intel CPUs which allows unprivileged speculative access to data which was previously stored in vector registers. This mitigation requires updated CPU microcode provided in the intel-microcode package. Daniel Trujillo, Johannes Wikner and Kaveh Razavi discovered INCEPTION, also known as Speculative Return Stack Overflow (SRSO), a transient execution attack that leaks arbitrary data on all AMD Zen CPUs. An attacker can mis-train the CPU BTB to predict non-architectural CALL instructions in kernel space and use this to control the speculative target of a subsequent kernel RET, potentially leading to information disclosure via a speculative side-channel.

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a trio of side-channel attacks that could be exploited to leak sensitive data from modern CPUs. Called Collide+Power (CVE-2023-20583), Downfall (CVE-2022-40982), and Inception (CVE-2023-20569), the novel methods follow the disclosure of another newly discovered security vulnerability affecting AMD's Zen 2 architecture-based processors known as

gRPC contains a vulnerability that allows hpack table accounting errors could lead to unwanted disconnects between clients and servers in exceptional cases/ Three vectors were found that allow the following DOS attacks: - Unbounded memory buffering in the HPACK parser - Unbounded CPU consumption in the HPACK parser The unbounded CPU consumption is down to a copy that occurred per-input-block in the parser, and because that could be unbounded due to the memory copy bug we end up with an O(n^2) parsing loop, with n selected by the client. The unbounded memory buffering bugs: - The header size limit check was behind the string reading code, so we needed to first buffer up to a 4 gigabyte string before rejecting it as longer than 8 or 16kb. - HPACK varints have an encoding quirk whereby an infinite number of 0’s can be added at the start of an integer. gRPC’s hpack parser needed to read all of them before concluding a parse. - gRPC’s metadata overflow check was performed per frame, so ...
