Ubuntu Security Notice 6893-1 - It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel when modifying certain settings values through debugfs. A privileged local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6894-1 - Muqing Liu and neoni discovered that Apport incorrectly handled detecting if an executable was replaced after a crash. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code as the root user. Gerrit Venema discovered that Apport incorrectly handled connections to Apport sockets inside containers. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to connect to arbitrary sockets as the root user.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6888-2 - USN-6888-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in Django. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Elias Myllymäki discovered that Django incorrectly handled certain inputs with a large number of brackets. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Django to consume resources or stop responding, resulting in a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6891-1 - It was discovered that Python incorrectly handled certain inputs. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. It was discovered that Python incorrectly used regular expressions vulnerable to catastrophic backtracking. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6892-1 - It was discovered that the ATA over Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that the Atheros 802.11ac wireless driver did not properly validate certain data structures, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6868-2 - Sander Wiebing, Alvise de Faveri Tron, Herbert Bos, and Cristiano Giuffrida discovered that the Linux kernel mitigations for the initial Branch History Injection vulnerability were insufficient for Intel processors. A local attacker could potentially use this to expose sensitive information. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6866-3 - It was discovered that the ext4 file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate data state on write operations. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious ext4 file system image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the ATA over Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6890-1 - Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information across domains, or execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that Firefox did not properly manage certain memory operations in the NSS. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6889-1 - It was discovered that .NET did not properly handle object deserialization. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. Radek Zikmund discovered that .NET did not properly manage memory. An attacker could use this issue to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that .NET did not properly parse X.509 Content and ObjectIdentifiers. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6881-1 - It was discovered that Exim did not enforce STARTTLS sync point on client side. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform response injection during MTA SMTP sending.
