An issue in HTACG HTML Tidy v5.7.28 allows attacker to execute arbitrary code via the -g option of the CleanNode() function in gdoc.c.
Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Dvidelabs flatcc v.0.6.0 allows local attacker to execute arbitrary code via the fltacc execution of the error_ref_sym function.
Ubuntu Security Notice 5879-1 - 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.
Ubuntu Security Notice 5878-1 - It was discovered that the Bluetooth HCI implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate memory in some situations. An attacker could possibly use this cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the Broadcom FullMAC USB WiFi driver in the Linux kernel did not properly perform bounds checking in some situations. A physically proximate attacker could use this to craft a malicious USB device that when inserted, could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
Ubuntu Security Notice 5778-2 - USN-5778-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in X.Org. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and Ubuntu 16.04 ESM. Jan-Niklas Sohn discovered that X.Org X Server extensions contained multiple security issues. An attacker could possibly use these issues to cause the X Server to crash, execute arbitrary code, or escalate privileges.
Ubuntu Security Notice 5873-1 - It was discovered that Go Text incorrectly handled certain encodings. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. It was discovered that Go Text incorrectly handled certain BCP 47 language tags. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. CVE-2020-28851, CVE-2020-28852, and CVE-2021-38561 affected only Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
Ubuntu Security Notice 5877-1 - 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.
Ubuntu Security Notice 5874-1 - It was discovered that the Broadcom FullMAC USB WiFi driver in the Linux kernel did not properly perform bounds checking in some situations. A physically proximate attacker could use this to craft a malicious USB device that when inserted, could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the Bluetooth stack in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
Ubuntu Security Notice 5876-1 - It was discovered that a memory leak existed in the Unix domain socket implementation of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the Bluetooth HCI implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate memory in some situations. An attacker could possibly use this cause a denial of service.
Ubuntu Security Notice 5875-1 - 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.
