Ubuntu Security Notice 6054-2 - USN-6054-1 fixed a vulnerability in Django. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and Ubuntu 16.04 ESM. Moataz Al-Sharida and nawaik discovered that Django incorrectly handled uploading multiple files using one form field. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass certain validations.

A heap-based buffer overflow issue was discovered in libjpeg-turbo in h2v2_merged_upsample_internal() function of jdmrgext.c file. The vulnerability can only be exploited with 12-bit data precision for which the range of the sample data type exceeds the valid sample range, hence, an attacker could craft a 12-bit lossless JPEG image that contains out-of-range 12-bit samples. An application attempting to decompress such image using merged upsampling would lead to segmentation fault or buffer overflows, causing an application to crash.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6108-1 - It was discovered that Jhead did not properly handle certain crafted images while rotating them. An attacker could possibly use this issue to crash Jhead, resulting in a denial of service. Kyle Brown discovered that Jhead did not properly handle certain crafted images while regenerating the Exif thumbnail. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary commands.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6106-1 - It was discovered that calamares-settings-ubuntu allowed creating the first user with a blank password, contrary to expectations.

### Summary When building packages directly from source control, file permissions on the checked-in files are not maintained. ### Details When building packages directly from source control, file permissions on the checked-in files are not maintained. When nfpm packaged the files (without extra config for enforcing its own permissions) files could go out with bad permissions (chmod 666 or 777). ### PoC Create a default nfpm structure. Within the test folder, create 3 files named `chmod-XXX.sh`. Each script has file permissions set corresponding with their file names (`chmod-777.sh` = `chmod 777`). Below each file and permissions can be seen. ```console $ ls -lart test total 24 -rwxrwxrwx 1 user group 11 May 19 13:15 chmod-777.sh -rw-rw-rw- 1 user group 11 May 19 13:16 chmod-666.sh drwxr-xr-x 5 user group 160 May 19 13:19 . -rw-rw-r-- 1 user group 11 May 19 13:19 chmod-664.sh drwxr-xr-x 10 user group 320 May 19 13:29 .. ``` Below is the snippet nfpm confi...

Ubuntu Security Notice 6103-1 - It was discovered that JSON Schema 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 exploit JavaScript runtimes and cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
