Ubuntu Security Notice 6534-1 - It was discovered that the USB subsystem in the Linux kernel contained a race condition while handling device descriptors in certain situations, leading to a out-of-bounds read vulnerability. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. Lin Ma discovered that the Netlink Transformation subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize a policy data structure, leading to an out-of-bounds vulnerability. A local privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly expose sensitive information.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6531-1 - Seiya Nakata and Yudai Fujiwara discovered that Redis incorrectly handled certain specially crafted Lua scripts. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause heap corruption and execute arbitrary code. SeungHyun Lee discovered that Redis incorrectly handled specially crafted commands. An attacker could possibly use this issue to trigger an integer overflow, which might cause Redis to allocate impossible amounts of memory, resulting in a denial of service via an application crash.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6530-1 - It was discovered that HAProxy incorrectly handled URI components containing the hash character. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information, or to bypass certain path_end rules.

### Summary If a user has restricted access to a project that is configured with `restricted=true`, they can gain root access on the system by creating a disk device with `shift=true` and creating a setuid root executable. This is possible because the `shift` property is not restricted unless `restricted.devices.disk.paths` is set. ### Details The following patch shows the offending code with a possible fix: ```patch --- a/lxd/device/disk.go +++ b/lxd/device/disk.go @@ -429,17 +429,19 @@ func (d *disk) validateEnvironmentSourcePath() error { if instProject.Name != api.ProjectDefaultName { // If restricted disk paths are in force, then check the disk's source is allowed, and record the // allowed parent path for later user during device start up sequence. - if shared.IsTrue(instProject.Config["restricted"]) && instProject.Config["restricted.devices.disk.paths"] != "" { - allowed, restrictedParentSourcePath :=...

Ubuntu Security Notice 6529-1 - It was discovered that Request Tracker incorrectly handled certain inputs. If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6509-2 - USN-6509-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox. The update introduced several minor regressions. This update fixes the problem. Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information across domains, or execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that Firefox did not properly manage memory when images were created on the canvas element. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to obtain sensitive information. It discovered that Firefox incorrectly handled certain memory when using a MessagePort. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service. It discovered that Firefox incorrectly did not properly manage ownership in ReadableByteStreams. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service. It discovered that Firefox incorrectly did n...

Ubuntu Security Notice 6502-4 - Ivan D Barrera, Christopher Bednarz, Mustafa Ismail, and Shiraz Saleem discovered that the InfiniBand RDMA driver in the Linux kernel did not properly check for zero-length STAG or MR registration. A remote attacker could possibly use this to execute arbitrary code. Yu Hao discovered that the UBI driver in the Linux kernel did not properly check for MTD with zero erasesize during device attachment. A local privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6496-2 - Ivan D Barrera, Christopher Bednarz, Mustafa Ismail, and Shiraz Saleem discovered that the InfiniBand RDMA driver in the Linux kernel did not properly check for zero-length STAG or MR registration. A remote attacker could possibly use this to execute arbitrary code. Yu Hao discovered that the UBI driver in the Linux kernel did not properly check for MTD with zero erasesize during device attachment. A local privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6495-2 - Yu Hao discovered that the UBI driver in the Linux kernel did not properly check for MTD with zero erasesize during device attachment. A local privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Manfred Rudigier discovered that the Intel PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate received frames that are larger than the set MTU size, leading to a buffer overflow vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6494-2 - Yu Hao discovered that the UBI driver in the Linux kernel did not properly check for MTD with zero erasesize during device attachment. A local privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Lucas Leong discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate some attributes passed from userspace. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly expose sensitive information.
