Ubuntu Security Notice 6704-4 - It was discovered that the NVIDIA Tegra XUSB pad controller driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle return values in certain error conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Quentin Minster discovered that the KSMBD implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle session setup requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service.

Details have emerged about a vulnerability impacting the "wall" command of the util-linux package that could be potentially exploited by a bad actor to leak a user's password or alter the clipboard on certain Linux distributions. The bug, tracked as CVE-2024-28085, has been codenamed WallEscape by security researcher Skyler Ferrante. It has been described as a case of improper

Updated March 30, 2024: We have determined that Fedora Linux 40 beta does contain two affected versions of xz libraries - xz-libs-5.6.0-1.fc40.x86_64.rpm and xz-libs-5.6.0-2.fc40.x86_64.rpm. At this time, Fedora 40 Linux does not appear to be affected by the actual malware exploit, but we encourage all Fedora 40 Linux beta users to revert to 5.4.x versions.Editor's note: This post has been updated to more clearly articulate the affected versions of Fedora Linux and add additional mitigation methods.Yesterday, Red Hat Information Risk and Security and Red Hat Product Security learned that the l

### Impact _What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?_ Users running containers with root privileges allowing a container to run with read/write access to the host system files when selinux is not enabled. With selinux enabled, some read access is allowed. ### Patches From @nalind . This is a patch for Buildah (https://github.com/containers/buildah). Once fixed there, Buildah will be vendored into Podman. ``` # cat /root/cve-2024-1753.diff --- internal/volumes/volumes.go +++ internal/volumes/volumes.go @@ -11,6 +11,7 @@ import ( "errors" + "github.com/containers/buildah/copier" "github.com/containers/buildah/define" "github.com/containers/buildah/internal" internalParse "github.com/containers/buildah/internal/parse" @@ -189,7 +190,11 @@ func GetBindMount(ctx *types.SystemContext, args []string, contextDir string, st // buildkit parity: support absolute path for sources from current build context if contextDir != "" { // path should be /contextDir/speci...

Ubuntu Security Notice 6719-1 - Skyler Ferrante discovered that the util-linux wall command did not filter escape sequences from command line arguments. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information.

The util-linux wall command does not filter escape sequences from command line arguments. The vulnerable code was introduced in commit cdd3cc7fa4 (2013). Every version since has been vulnerable. This allows unprivileged users to put arbitrary text on other users terminals, if mesg is set to y and wall is setgid. CentOS is not vulnerable since wall is not setgid. On Ubuntu 22.04 and Debian Bookworm, wall is both setgid and mesg is set to y by default.
