Ubuntu Security Notice 5813-1 - It was discovered that the NFSD implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle some RPC messages, leading to a buffer overflow. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Tamás Koczka discovered that the Bluetooth L2CAP handshake implementation in the Linux kernel contained multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5810-2 - USN-5810-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Git. This update introduced a regression as it was missing some commit lines. This update fixes the problem. Markus Vervier and Eric Sesterhenn discovered that Git incorrectly handled certain gitattributes. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash or execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5812-1 - It was discovered that urllib3 incorrectly handled certain characters in URLs. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause urllib3 to consume resources, leading to a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5811-2 - USN-5811-1 fixed a vulnerability in Sudo. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 16.04 ESM. Matthieu Barjole and Victor Cutillas discovered that Sudo incorrectly handled user-specified editors when using the sudoedit command. A local attacker that has permission to use the sudoedit command could possibly use this issue to edit arbitrary files.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5811-1 - Matthieu Barjole and Victor Cutillas discovered that Sudo incorrectly handled user-specified editors when using the sudoedit command. A local attacker that has permission to use the sudoedit command could possibly use this issue to edit arbitrary files. It was discovered that the Protobuf-c library, used by Sudo, incorrectly handled certain arithmetic shifts. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Sudo to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

Rapid7 Velociraptor did not properly sanitize the client ID parameter to the CreateCollection API, allowing a directory traversal in where the collection task could be written. It was possible to provide a client id of "../clients/server" to schedule the collection for the server (as a server artifact), but only require privileges to schedule collections on the client. Normally, to schedule an artifact on the server, the COLLECT_SERVER permission is required. This permission is normally only granted to "administrator" role. Due to this issue, it is sufficient to have the COLLECT_CLIENT privilege, which is normally granted to the "investigator" role. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must already have a Velociraptor user account at least "investigator" level, and be able to authenticate to the GUI and issue an API call to the backend. Typically, most users deploy Velociraptor with limited access to a trusted group, and most users will already be administrators within the GUI. ...

Ubuntu Security Notice 5810-1 - Markus Vervier and Eric Sesterhenn discovered that Git incorrectly handled certain gitattributes. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash or execute arbitrary code. Joern Schneeweisz discovered that Git incorrectly handled certain commands. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash or execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5807-1 - Martin Ettl discovered that libXpm incorrectly handled certain XPM files. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted XPM file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libXpm to stop responding, resulting in a denial of service. Marco Ivaldi discovered that libXpm incorrectly handled certain XPM files. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted XPM file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libXpm to stop responding, resulting in a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5809-1 - Kyle Zeng discovered that the sysctl implementation in the Linux kernel contained a stack-based buffer overflow. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. Tamás Koczka discovered that the Bluetooth L2CAP handshake implementation in the Linux kernel contained multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
