[USN-6718-1] curl vulnerabilities


==========================================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6718-1
March 27, 2024

curl vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 23.10
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in curl.

Software Description:
- curl: HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP client and client libraries

Details:

Dan Fandrich discovered that curl would incorrectly use the default set of
protocols when a parameter option disabled all protocols without adding
any, contrary to expectations. This issue only affected Ubuntu 23.10.
(CVE-2024-2004)

It was discovered that curl incorrectly handled memory when limiting the
amount of headers when HTTP/2 server push is allowed. A remote attacker
could possibly use this issue to cause curl to consume resources, leading
to a denial of service. (CVE-2024-2398)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 23.10:
curl 8.2.1-1ubuntu3.3
libcurl3-gnutls 8.2.1-1ubuntu3.3
libcurl3-nss 8.2.1-1ubuntu3.3
libcurl4 8.2.1-1ubuntu3.3

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS:
curl 7.81.0-1ubuntu1.16
libcurl3-gnutls 7.81.0-1ubuntu1.16
libcurl3-nss 7.81.0-1ubuntu1.16
libcurl4 7.81.0-1ubuntu1.16

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:
curl 7.68.0-1ubuntu2.22
libcurl3-gnutls 7.68.0-1ubuntu2.22
libcurl3-nss 7.68.0-1ubuntu2.22
libcurl4 7.68.0-1ubuntu2.22

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

[USN-6686-5] Linux kernel (Intel IoTG) vulnerabilities


==========================================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6686-5
March 27, 2024

linux-intel-iotg, linux-intel-iotg-5.15 vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:
- linux-intel-iotg: Linux kernel for Intel IoT platforms
- linux-intel-iotg-5.15: Linux kernel for Intel IoT platforms

Details:

It was discovered that the DesignWare USB3 for Qualcomm SoCs driver in the
Linux kernel did not properly handle certain error conditions during device
registration. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of
service (system crash). (CVE-2023-22995)

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Cypress touchscreen
driver in the Linux kernel during device removal, leading to a use-after-
free vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause
a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2023-4134)

黄思聪 discovered that the NFC Controller Interface (NCI) implementation in
the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain memory allocation failure
conditions, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2023-46343)

It was discovered that the io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel contained
a race condition, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A
local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2023-46862)

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem
of the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or
possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-51779)

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Rose X.25 protocol
implementation in the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after- free
vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-51782)

Alon Zahavi discovered that the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem of the Linux kernel
did not properly handle connect command payloads in certain situations,
leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. A remote attacker could use
this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2023-6121)

It was discovered that the VirtIO subsystem in the Linux kernel did not
properly initialize memory in some situations. A local attacker could use
this to possibly expose sensitive information (kernel memory).
(CVE-2024-0340)

Dan Carpenter discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel
did not store data in properly sized memory locations. A local user could
use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-0607)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS:
linux-image-5.15.0-1050-intel-iotg 5.15.0-1050.56
linux-image-intel-iotg 5.15.0.1050.50

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:
linux-image-5.15.0-1050-intel-iotg 5.15.0-1050.56~20.04.1
linux-image-intel 5.15.0.1050.56~20.04.40
linux-image-intel-iotg 5.15.0.1050.56~20.04.40

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.

ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have
been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and
reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed.
Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages
(e.g. linux-generic, linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual,
linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform
this as well.
