Ubuntu Security Notice 6299-1 - It was discovered that poppler incorrectly handled certain malformed PDF files. If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted PDF file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
Ubuntu Security Notice 6297-1 - It was discovered that Ghostscript incorrectly handled outputting certain PDF files. A local attacker could potentially use this issue to cause a crash, resulting in a denial of service.
An ongoing campaign targeting ministries of foreign affairs of NATO-aligned countries points to the involvement of Russian threat actors. The phishing attacks feature PDF documents with diplomatic lures, some of which are disguised as coming from Germany, to deliver a variant of a malware called Duke, which has been attributed to APT29 (aka BlueBravo, Cloaked Ursa, Cozy Bear, Iron Hemlock,
The AudioCodes VoIP phones store sensitive information, e.g. credentials and passwords, in encrypted form in their configuration files. These encrypted values can also be automatically configured, e.g. via the "One Voice Operation Center" or other central device management solutions. Due to the use of a hardcoded cryptographic key, an attacker with access to these configuration files is able to decrypt the encrypted values and retrieve sensitive information, e.g. the device root password. Firmware versions greater than or equal to 3.4.8.M4 are affected.
The Texas Instruments (TI) WiLink WL18xx MCP driver does not limit the number of information elements (IEs) of type XCC_EXT_1_IE_ID or XCC_EXT_2_IE_ID that can be parsed in a management frame. Using a specially crafted frame, a buffer overflow can be triggered that can potentially lead to remote code execution. This affects WILINK8-WIFI-MCP8 version 8.5_SP3 and earlier.
Ubuntu Security Notice 6280-1 - It was discovered that PyPDF2 incorrectly handled PDF files with certain markers. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to consume system resources, resulting in a denial of service.
xterm before 380 supports ReGIS reporting for character-set names even if they have unexpected characters (i.e., neither alphanumeric nor underscore), aka a pointer/overflow issue.
Qualys scanners use the ssh-rsa algorithm for pubkey signing in its attempt of SSH login. Modern SSHD servers reject pubkey login with ssh-rsa, so Qualys is unable to scan up-to-date Linux e.g. Debian12 or RHEL9. Qualys does not check the list of pubkey signing algorithms accepted by SSHD servers, and therefore cannot notify about any insecure ones.
The wide-ranging scams, often disguised as game promotions, can all be linked back to one network.
An issue was discovered in QPDF version 10.0.4, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted .pdf file to Pl_ASCII85Decoder::write parameter in libqpdf.
