Ubuntu Security Notice 6609-2 - Lin Ma discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate network family support while creating a new netfilter table. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that the CIFS network file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate the server frame size in certain situation, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious CIFS image that, when operated on, could cause a denial of service or possibly expose sensitive information.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6617-1 - It was discovered that libde265 could be made to write out of bounds. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. It was discovered that libde265 could be made to write out of bounds. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

A vulnerability exists within Mirth Connect due to its mishandling of deserialized data. This vulnerability can be leveraged by an attacker using a crafted HTTP request to execute OS commands within the context of the target application. The original vulnerability was identified by IHTeam and assigned CVE-2023-37679. Later, researchers from Horizon3.ai determined the patch to be incomplete and published a gadget chain which bypassed the deny list that the original had implemented. This second vulnerability was assigned CVE-2023-43208 and was patched in Mirth Connect version 4.4.1. This Metasploit module has been tested on versions 4.1.1, 4.3.0 and 4.4.0.

An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Pillow to consume resources, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Duarte Santos discovered that Pillow incorrectly handled the environment parameter to PIL.ImageMath.eval. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6587-3 - USN-6587-1 fixed vulnerabilities in X.Org X Server. The fix was incomplete resulting in a possible regression. This update fixes the problem. Jan-Niklas Sohn discovered that the X.Org X Server incorrectly handled memory when processing the DeviceFocusEvent and ProcXIQueryPointer APIs. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the X Server to crash, obtain sensitive information, or execute arbitrary code. Jan-Niklas Sohn discovered that the X.Org X Server incorrectly handled reattaching to a different master device. An attacker could use this issue to cause the X Server to crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. Olivier Fourdan and Donn Seeley discovered that the X.Org X Server incorrectly labeled GLX PBuffers when used with SELinux. An attacker could use this issue to cause the X Server to crash, leading to a denial of service. Olivier Fourdan discovered that the X.Org X Server incorrectly handled the curser co...

Ubuntu Security Notice 6616-1 - It was discovered that OpenLDAP was not properly performing bounds checks when executing functions related to LDAP URLs. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
