Ubuntu Security Notice 7117-1 - Qualys discovered that needrestart passed unsanitized data to a library which expects safe input. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code as root. Qualys discovered that the library libmodule-scandeps-perl incorrectly parsed perl code. This could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7115-1 - It was discovered that Waitress could process follow up requests when receiving a specially crafted message. An attacker could use this issue to have the server process inconsistent client requests. Dylan Jay discovered that Waitress could be lead to write to an unexisting socket after closing the remote connection. An attacker could use this issue to increase resource utilization leading to a denial of service.

Multiple decade-old security vulnerabilities have been disclosed in the needrestart package installed by default in Ubuntu Server (since version 21.04) that could allow a local attacker to gain root privileges without requiring user interaction. The Qualys Threat Research Unit (TRU), which identified and reported the flaws early last month, said they are trivial to exploit, necessitating that
