Ubuntu Security Notice 5878-1 - It was discovered that the Bluetooth HCI implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate memory in some situations. An attacker could possibly use this cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the Broadcom FullMAC USB WiFi driver in the Linux kernel did not properly perform bounds checking in some situations. A physically proximate attacker could use this to craft a malicious USB device that when inserted, could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5876-1 - It was discovered that a memory leak existed in the Unix domain socket implementation of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the Bluetooth HCI implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate memory in some situations. An attacker could possibly use this cause a denial of service.

Thistle's technology will give device makers a way to easily integrate features for secure updates, memory management, and communications into their products, Snyder says.

Telecommunication service providers in the Middle East are being targeted by a previously undocumented threat actor as part of a suspected espionage-related campaign. Cybersecurity firms SentinelOne and QGroup are tracking the activity cluster under the former's work-in-progress moniker WIP26.

SolarWinds Platform version 2022.4.1 was found to be susceptible to the Deserialization of Untrusted Data. This vulnerability allows a remote adversary with Orion admin-level account access to the SolarWinds Web Console to execute arbitrary commands.

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the memory address space accounting implementation in the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. Sonke Huster discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the WiFi driver stack in the Linux kernel. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.

When Microsoft released UTF-8 support for the -A interfaces of the Windows API, it appears to have introduced buffer overrun conditions.
