Ubuntu Security Notice 5830-1 - 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.

NOSH 4a5cfdb allows stored XSS via the create user page. For example, a first name (of a physician, assistant, or billing user) can have a JavaScript payload that is executed upon visiting the /users/2/1 page. This may allow attackers to steal Protected Health Information because the product is for health charting.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5822-2 - USN-5822-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Samba. The update for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS introduced regressions in certain environments. Pending investigation of these regressions, this update temporarily reverts the security fixes. It was discovered that Samba incorrectly handled the bad password count logic. It was discovered that Samba supported weak RC4/HMAC-MD5 in NetLogon Secure Channel. Greg Hudson discovered that Samba incorrectly handled PAC parsing. Joseph Sutton discovered that Samba could be forced to issue rc4-hmac encrypted Kerberos tickets.

Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a PlugX sample that employs sneaky methods to infect attached removable USB media devices in order to propagate the malware to additional systems. "This PlugX variant is wormable and infects USB devices in such a way that it conceals itself from the Windows operating file system," Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 researchers Mike Harbison and Jen Miller-Osborn

TIPC dissector crash in Wireshark 4.0.0 to 4.0.2 and 3.6.0 to 3.6.10 and allows denial of service via packet injection or crafted capture file

iSCSI dissector crash in Wireshark 4.0.0 to 4.0.2 and 3.6.0 to 3.6.10 and allows denial of service via packet injection or crafted capture file

GNW dissector crash in Wireshark 4.0.0 to 4.0.2 and 3.6.0 to 3.6.10 and allows denial of service via packet injection or crafted capture file

Ubuntu Security Notice 5829-1 - 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 5828-1 - It was discovered that Kerberos incorrectly handled certain S4U2Self requests. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue was only addressed in Ubuntu 16.04 ESM and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Greg Hudson discovered that Kerberos PAC implementation incorrectly handled certain parsing operations. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5827-1 - Rob Schulhof discovered that Bind incorrectly handled a large number of UPDATE messages. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Bind to consume resources, resulting in a denial of service. Borja Marcos discovered that Bind incorrectly handled certain RRSIG queries. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Bind to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.10.
