Libde265 v1.0.14 was discovered to contain a global buffer overflow vulnerability in the read_coding_unit function at slice.cc.

GPAC version 2.3-DEV-rev602-ged8424300-master in MP4Box contains a memory leak in NewSFDouble scenegraph/vrml_tools.c:300. This vulnerability may lead to a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6540-1 - It was discovered that BlueZ did not properly restrict non-bonded devices from injecting HID events into the input subsystem. This could allow a physically proximate attacker to inject keystrokes and execute arbitrary commands whilst the device is discoverable.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6539-1 - It was discovered that the python-cryptography Cipher.update_into function would incorrectly accept objects with immutable buffers. This would result in corrupted output, contrary to expectations. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 23.04. It was discovered that python-cryptography incorrectly handled loading certain PKCS7 certificates. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause python-cryptography to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 23.04, and Ubuntu 23.10.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6538-1 - Jingzhou Fu discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled certain unknown arguments in aggregate function calls. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. Pedro Gallegos discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled modifying certain SQL array values. A remote attacker could use this issue to obtain sensitive information, or possibly execute arbitrary code. Hemanth Sandrana and Mahendrakar Srinivasarao discovered that PostgreSQL allowed the pg_signal_backend role to signal certain superuser processes, contrary to expectations.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6537-1 - Yu Hao discovered that the UBI driver in the Linux kernel did not properly check for MTD with zero erasesize during device attachment. A local privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Lucas Leong discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate some attributes passed from userspace. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly expose sensitive information.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6536-1 - Lucas Leong discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate some attributes passed from userspace. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly expose sensitive information. Kyle Zeng discovered that the IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle socket buffers when performing IP routing in certain circumstances, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6463-2 - USN-6463-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Open VM Tools. This update provides the corresponding updates for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. It was discovered that Open VM Tools incorrectly handled SAML tokens. A remote attacker with Guest Operations privileges could possibly use this issue to elevate their privileges.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6535-1 - Harry Sintonen discovered that curl incorrectly handled mixed case cookie domains. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to set cookies that get sent to different and unrelated sites and domains. Maksymilian Arciemowicz discovered that curl incorrectly handled long file names when saving HSTS data. This could result in curl losing HSTS data, and subsequent requests to a site would be done without it, contrary to expectations. This issue only affected Ubuntu 23.04 and Ubuntu 23.10.

This Metasploit exploit module takes advantage of a Docker image which has either the privileged flag, or SYS_ADMIN Linux capability. If the host kernel is vulnerable, its possible to escape the Docker image and achieve root on the host operating system. A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's cgroup_release_agent_write in the kernel/cgroup/cgroup-v1.c function. This flaw, under certain circumstances, allows the use of the cgroups v1 release_agent feature to escalate privileges and bypass the namespace isolation unexpectedly.
