Ubuntu Security Notice 6342-2 - 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. Zheng Zhang discovered that the device-mapper implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle locking during table_clear operations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.

A buffer overflow vulnerability in OpenPLC Runtime's webserver version 3 allows attackers to inject malicious code, leading to an internal server error that is irrecoverable. This also disables the ability to add any new slave devices through the "Add Slave Devices" component on the Modbus page of the application.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6339-2 - It was discovered that the NTFS file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate MFT flags in certain situations. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious NTFS image that, when mounted and operated on, could cause a denial of service. Zi Fan Tan discovered that the binder IPC implementation in the Linux kernel contained a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6340-2 - Ruihan Li discovered that the bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly perform permissions checks when handling HCI sockets. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Zi Fan Tan discovered that the binder IPC implementation in the Linux kernel contained a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

It was discovered that the IP-VLAN network driver for the Linux kernel did not properly initialize memory in some situations, leading to an out-of- bounds write vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. Querijn Voet discovered that a race condition existed in the io_uring subsystem 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. Various other vulnerabilities were also discovered and addressed.

QEMU through 8.0.0 could trigger a division by zero in scsi_disk_reset in hw/scsi/scsi-disk.c because scsi_disk_emulate_mode_select does not prevent s->qdev.blocksize from being 256. This stops QEMU and the guest immediately.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6355-1 - Daniel Axtens discovered that specially crafted images could cause a heap-based out-of-bonds write. A local attacker could possibly use this to circumvent secure boot protections. Daniel Axtens discovered that specially crafted images could cause out-of-bonds read and write. A local attacker could possibly use this to circumvent secure boot protections. Daniel Axtens discovered that specially crafted images could cause buffer underwrite which allows arbitrary data to be written to a heap. A local attacker could possibly use this to circumvent secure boot protections.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6354-1 - It was discovered that Python did not properly handle XML entity declarations in plist files. An attacker could possibly use this vulnerability to perform an XML External Entity injection, resulting in a denial of service or information disclosure.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6353-1 - Wooseok Kang discovered that PLIB did not properly manage memory under certain circumstances. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted TGA file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause applications using PLIB to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6352-1 - It was discovered that Apache Shiro incorrectly handled certain HTTP requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass security restrictions.
