Ubuntu Security Notice 6276-1 - It was discovered that unixODBC incorrectly handled certain unicode to ansi copies. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.

The TV and FM transmitter suffers from an unauthenticated configuration and log download vulnerability. This will enable the attacker to disclose sensitive information and help him in authentication bypass, privilege escalation and full system access.

The application is vulnerable to insecure direct object references that occur when the application provides direct access to objects based on user-supplied input. As a result of this vulnerability attackers can bypass authorization and access the hidden resources on the system and execute privileged functionalities.

The TV and FM transmitter uses a weak set of default administrative credentials that can be guessed in remote password attacks and gain full control of the system.

eHato CMS version 1.0 suffers from a cross site scripting vulnerability.

## Command Injection in docker fetch process ### Summary A possible command injection in the docker fetch process as it allows to append malicious commands in the docker_reference parameter. ### Details In the function `scanpipe/pipes/fetch.py:fetch_docker_image`[1] the parameter `docker_reference` is user controllable. The `docker_reference` variable is then passed to the vulnerable function `get_docker_image_platform`. ```python def fetch_docker_image(docker_reference, to=None): """ code snipped .... """ platform_args = [] platform = get_docker_image_platform(docker_reference) # User controlled `docker_reference` passed """ code snipped... """ ``` However, the `get_docker_image_plaform` function constructs a shell command with the passed `docker_reference`. The `pipes.run_command` then executes the shell command without any prior sanitization, making the function vulnerable to command injections. ```python def get_docker_image_platform(docker_refer...

gRPC contains a vulnerability that allows hpack table accounting errors could lead to unwanted disconnects between clients and servers in exceptional cases/ Three vectors were found that allow the following DOS attacks: - Unbounded memory buffering in the HPACK parser - Unbounded CPU consumption in the HPACK parser The unbounded CPU consumption is down to a copy that occurred per-input-block in the parser, and because that could be unbounded due to the memory copy bug we end up with an O(n^2) parsing loop, with n selected by the client. The unbounded memory buffering bugs: - The header size limit check was behind the string reading code, so we needed to first buffer up to a 4 gigabyte string before rejecting it as longer than 8 or 16kb. - HPACK varints have an encoding quirk whereby an infinite number of 0’s can be added at the start of an integer. gRPC’s hpack parser needed to read all of them before concluding a parse. - gRPC’s metadata overflow check was performed per frame, so ...

Ubuntu Security Notice 6277-1 - It was discovered that Dompdf was not properly validating untrusted input when processing HTML content under certain circumstances. An attacker could possibly use this issue to expose sensitive information or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. It was discovered that Dompdf was not properly validating processed HTML content that referenced PHAR files, which could result in the deserialization of untrusted data. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6267-2 - USN-6267-1 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. Max Vlasov discovered that Firefox 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. Alexander Guryanov discovered that Firefox did not properly update the value of a global variable in WASM JIT analysis in some circumstances. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service. Mark Brand discovered that Firefox did not properly validate the size of an untrusted input stream. An attacker could potentially exploi...
