A significant amount of vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel have been resolved that include use-after-free and race conditions.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7092-1 - It was discovered that mpg123 incorrectly handled certain mp3 files. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted mp3 file, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause mpg123 to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7089-2 - Chenyuan Yang discovered that the USB Gadget subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly check for the device to be enabled before writing. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7088-1 - Ziming Zhang discovered that the VMware Virtual GPU DRM driver in the Linux kernel contained an integer overflow vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.

Sophos CEO Joe Levy says the $859 million deal to acquire SecureWorks from majority owner Dell Technologies will put the Taegis platform — with network detection and response, vulnerability detection and response, and identity threat detection and response capabilities — at the core.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5799-1 - Security issues were discovered in Chromium which could result in the execution of arbitrary code, denial of service, or information disclosure.
