Ubuntu Security Notice 5443-2 - Kyle Zeng discovered that the Network Queuing and Scheduling subsystem of the Linux kernel did not properly perform reference counting in some situations, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. Jann Horn discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly enforce seccomp restrictions in some situations. A local attacker could use this to bypass intended seccomp sandbox restrictions.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5451-1 - Ilya Averyanov discovered that an InfluxDB vulnerability allowed attackers to bypass authentication and gain access to any known database user.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5454-2 - USN-5454-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in CUPS. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 16.04 ESM.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5442-2 - Kyle Zeng discovered that the Network Queuing and Scheduling subsystem of the Linux kernel did not properly perform reference counting in some situations, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. Bing-Jhong Billy Jheng discovered that the io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel contained in integer overflow. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5454-1 - Joshua Mason discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled the secret key used to access the administrative web interface. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to open a session as an administrator and execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled certain memory operations when handling IPP printing. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause CUPS to crash, leading to a denial of service, or obtain sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
