#vulnerability

Ubuntu Security Notice 6604-1 - It was discovered that the ASUS HID driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle device removal, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker with physical access could plug in a specially crafted USB device to cause a denial of service. Jana Hofmann, Emanuele Vannacci, Cedric Fournet, Boris Kopf, and Oleksii Oleksenko discovered that some AMD processors could leak stale data from division operations in certain situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6603-1 - It was discovered that the CIFS network file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate the server frame size in certain situation, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious CIFS image that, when operated on, could cause a denial of service or possibly expose sensitive information. Budimir Markovic, Lucas De Marchi, and Pengfei Xu discovered that the perf subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate all event sizes when attaching new events, leading to an out-of-bounds write vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6602-1 - Jana Hofmann, Emanuele Vannacci, Cedric Fournet, Boris Kopf, and Oleksii Oleksenko discovered that some AMD processors could leak stale data from division operations in certain situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information. It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Linux kernel when performing operations with kernel objects, leading to an out-of-bounds write. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6601-1 - It was discovered that the IGMP protocol implementation in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, 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 6600-1 - Several security issues were discovered in MariaDB and this update includes new upstream MariaDB versions to fix these issues. MariaDB has been updated to 10.3.39 in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, 10.6.16 in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and 10.11.6 in Ubuntu 23.10. CVE-2022-47015 only affected the MariaDB packages in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6599-1 - Yeting Li discovered that Jinja incorrectly handled certain regex. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. It was discovered that Jinja incorrectly handled certain HTML passed with xmlatter filter. An attacker could inject arbitrary HTML attributes keys and values potentially leading to XSS.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-0530-03 - An update is now available for the Red Hat build of Cryostat 2 on RHEL 8. Issues addressed include a denial of service vulnerability.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-0500-03 - An update for openssl is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2 Extended Update Support.

By Deeba Ahmed The NSPX30 backdoor, initially uncovered in 2005 as a simple form of malware, has evolved over time into an advanced threat. This is a post from HackRead.com Read the original post: China-Linked Blackwood APT Deploys Advanced NSPX30 Backdoor in Cyberespionage

Medieval castles stood as impregnable fortresses for centuries, thanks to their meticulous design. Fast forward to the digital age, and this medieval wisdom still echoes in cybersecurity. Like castles with strategic layouts to withstand attacks, the Defense-in-Depth strategy is the modern counterpart — a multi-layered approach with strategic redundancy and a blend of passive and active security
