Ubuntu Security Notice 6710-2 - USN-6710-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox. The update introduced several minor regressions. This update fixes the problem. Manfred Paul discovered that Firefox did not properly perform bounds checking during range analysis, leading to an out-of-bounds write vulnerability. A attacker could use this to cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. Manfred Paul discovered that Firefox incorrectly handled MessageManager listeners under certain circumstances. An attacker who was able to inject an event handler into a privileged object may have been able to execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6720-1 - Kentaro Kawane discovered that Cacti incorrectly handled user provided input sent through request parameters to the graph_view.php script. A remote authenticated attacker could use this issue to perform SQL injection attacks.

Details are starting to emerge about a stunning supply chain attack that sent the open source software community reeling.

A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel netfilter: nf_tables component. This is a universal local privilege escalation proof of concept exploit working on Linux kernels between 5.14 and 6.6, including Debian, Ubuntu, and KernelCTF.

Gibbon version 26.0.00 suffers from a server-side template injection vulnerability that allows for remote code execution.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6707-4 - Lonial Con discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle element deactivation in certain cases, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Notselwyn discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle verdict parameters in certain cases, leading to a use- after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6704-4 - It was discovered that the NVIDIA Tegra XUSB pad controller driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle return values in certain error conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Quentin Minster discovered that the KSMBD implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle session setup requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6715-1 - It was discovered that unixODBC incorrectly handled certain bytes. An attacker could use this issue to execute arbitrary code or cause a crash.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6719-1 - Skyler Ferrante discovered that the util-linux wall command did not filter escape sequences from command line arguments. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information.
