Ubuntu Security Notice 6726-3 - Pratyush Yadav discovered that the Xen network backend implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle zero length data request, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. An attacker in a guest VM could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the IPv6 implementation of the Linux kernel did not properly manage route cache memory usage. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6726-2 - Pratyush Yadav discovered that the Xen network backend implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle zero length data request, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. An attacker in a guest VM could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the IPv6 implementation of the Linux kernel did not properly manage route cache memory usage. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6725-2 - Chih-Yen Chang discovered that the KSMBD implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate certain data structure fields when parsing lease contexts, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly expose sensitive information. Quentin Minster discovered that a race condition existed in the KSMBD implementation in the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6724-2 - Pratyush Yadav discovered that the Xen network backend implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle zero length data request, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. An attacker in a guest VM could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the Habana's AI Processors driver in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize certain data structures before passing them to user space. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6736-1 - It was discovered that zlib, vendored in klibc, incorrectly handled pointer arithmetic. An attacker could use this issue to cause klibc to crash or to possibly execute arbitrary code. Danilo Ramos discovered that zlib, vendored in klibc, incorrectly handled memory when performing certain deflating operations. An attacker could use this issue to cause klibc to crash or to possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6735-1 - It was discovered that Node.js incorrectly handled the use of invalid public keys while creating an x509 certificate. If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 23.10. It was discovered that Node.js incorrectly handled the use of CRLF sequences to delimit HTTP requests. If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain unauthorised access. This issue only affected Ubuntu 23.10.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6734-1 - Alexander Kuznetsov discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled certain API calls. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libvirt to crash, resulting in a denial of service. It was discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled certain RPC library API calls. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libvirt to crash, resulting in a denial of service. It was discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled detaching certain host interfaces. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libvirt to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6733-1 - It was discovered that GnuTLS had a timing side-channel when performing certain ECDSA operations. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to recover sensitive information. It was discovered that GnuTLS incorrectly handled verifying certain PEM bundles. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause GnuTLS to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 23.10.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6732-1 - Several security issues were discovered in the WebKitGTK Web and JavaScript engines. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious website, a remote attacker could exploit a variety of issues related to web browser security, including cross-site scripting attacks, denial of service attacks, and arbitrary code execution.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6731-1 - It was discovered that YARD before 0.9.11 does not block relative paths with an initial ../ sequence, which allows attackers to conduct directory traversal attacks and read arbitrary files. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. It was discovered that yard before 0.9.20 is affected by a path traversal vulnerability, allowing HTTP requests to access arbitrary files under certain conditions. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
