Ubuntu Security Notice 6745-1 - It was discovered that in Percona XtraBackup, a local crafted filename could trigger arbitrary code execution.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6738-1 - Fabian Bäumer, Marcus Brinkmann, and Joerg Schwenk discovered that LXD incorrectly handled the handshake phase and the use of sequence numbers in SSH Binary Packet Protocol. 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 bypass integrity checks.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6737-1 - Charles Fol discovered that the GNU C Library iconv feature incorrectly handled certain input sequences. An attacker could use this issue to cause the GNU C Library to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6729-2 - USN-6729-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in Apache. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Orange Tsai discovered that the Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled validating certain input. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform HTTP request splitting attacks.

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.

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.
