Ubuntu Security Notice 6227-1 - Several security issues were discovered in the SpiderMonkey JavaScript library. If a user were tricked into opening malicious JavaScript applications or processing malformed data, a remote attacker could exploit a variety of issues related to JavaScript security, including denial of service attacks, and arbitrary code execution.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6226-1 - It was discovered that SciPy did not properly manage memory operations during reference counting. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. A use-after-free was discovered in SciPy when handling reference counts. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6225-1 - It was discovered that Knot Resolver did not correctly handle certain client options. A remote attacker could send requests to malicious domains and cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6224-1 - It was discovered that the XFS file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly perform metadata validation when mounting certain images. An attacker could use this to specially craft a file system image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service. Wei Chen discovered that the InfiniBand RDMA communication manager implementation in the Linux kernel contained an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6223-1 - It was discovered that the TUN/TAP driver in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize socket data. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the Real-Time Scheduling Class implementation in the Linux kernel contained a type confusion vulnerability in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6222-1 - Jiasheng Jiang discovered that the HSA Linux kernel driver for AMD Radeon GPU devices did not properly validate memory allocation in certain situations, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Zheng Wang discovered that the Intel i915 graphics driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a double-free. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6221-1 - It was discovered that a race condition existed in the overlay file system implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the virtual terminal device implementation in the Linux kernel contained a race condition in its ioctl handling that led to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6220-1 - Hangyu Hua discovered that the Flower classifier implementation in the Linux kernel contained an out-of-bounds write vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that for some Intel processors the INVLPG instruction implementation did not properly flush global TLB entries when PCIDs are enabled. An attacker could use this to expose sensitive information or possibly cause undesired behaviors.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6218-1 - A use-after-free was discovered in Firefox when handling workers. An attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6217-1 - McKee-Harris, Matt Cotterell, and Jack Moran discovered that .NET did not properly update account lockout maximum failed attempts. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass the security feature and attempt to guess more passwords for an account.
