Ubuntu Security Notice 6333-1 - Junsung Lee discovered that Thunderbird did not properly validate the text direction override unicode character in filenames. An attacker could potentially exploits this issue by spoofing file extension while attaching a file in emails. Max Vlasov discovered that Thunderbird Offscreen Canvas did not properly track cross-origin tainting. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to access image data from another site in violation of same-origin policy.

### Impact The order of evaluation of the arguments of the builtin functions `uint256_addmod`, `uint256_mulmod`, `ecadd` and `ecmul` does not follow source order. • For `uint256_addmod(a,b,c)` and `uint256_mulmod(a,b,c)`, the order is `c,a,b`. • For `ecadd(a,b)` and `ecmul(a,b)`, the order is `b,a`. Note that this behaviour is problematic when the evaluation of one of the arguments produces side effects that other arguments depend on. ### Patches https://github.com/vyperlang/vyper/pull/3583 ### Workarounds When using builtins from the list above, make sure that the arguments of the expression do not produce side effects or, if one does, that no other argument is dependent on those side effects. ### References _Are there any links users can visit to find out more?_

The Media from FTP WordPress plugin before 11.17 does not properly limit who can use the plugin, which may allow users with author+ privileges to move files around, like wp-config.php, which may lead to RCE in some cases.

Cybersecurity researchers have called attention to a new antivirus evasion technique that involves embedding a malicious Microsoft Word file into a PDF file. The sneaky method, dubbed MalDoc in PDF by JPCERT/CC, is said to have been employed in an in-the-wild attack in July 2023. "A file created with MalDoc in PDF can be opened in Word even though it has magic numbers and file structure of PDF,"

Ubuntu Security Notice 6332-1 - Daniel Moghimi discovered that some Intel Processors did not properly clear microarchitectural state after speculative execution of various instructions. A local unprivileged user could use this to obtain to sensitive information. William Zhao discovered that the Traffic Control subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle network packet retransmission in certain situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.

A vulnerability that poses a potential risk of polluting the MXsecurity sqlite database and the nsm-web UI has been identified in MXsecurity versions prior to v1.0.1. This vulnerability might allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to register or add devices via the nsm-web application.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6331-1 - It was discovered that the netlink implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate policies when parsing attributes in some situations. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Billy Jheng Bing Jhong discovered that the CIFS network file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate arguments to ioctl in some situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6330-1 - Daniel Moghimi discovered that some Intel Processors did not properly clear microarchitectural state after speculative execution of various instructions. A local unprivileged user could use this to obtain to sensitive information. Tavis Ormandy discovered that some AMD processors did not properly handle speculative execution of certain vector register instructions. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information.
