[USN-7679-1] SQLite vulnerabilities


==========================================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7679-1
July 29, 2025

sqlite3 vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

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

- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in SQLite.

Software Description:
- sqlite3: C library that implements an SQL database engine

Details:

It was discovered that SQLite incorrectly handled aggregate terms. An
attacker could use this issue to cause SQLite to crash, resulting in a
denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-6965)

It was discovered that SQLite incorrectly handled certain argument values
to sqlite3_db_config(). An attacker could use this issue to cause SQLite to
crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary
code. This update fixes the issue in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, and
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. This issue was previously fixed in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS via
USN-7528-1. (CVE-2025-29088)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
libsqlite3-0 3.31.1-4ubuntu0.7+esm1
Available with Ubuntu Pro

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
libsqlite3-0 3.22.0-1ubuntu0.7+esm2
Available with Ubuntu Pro

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
libsqlite3-0 3.11.0-1ubuntu1.5+esm3
Available with Ubuntu Pro

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
libsqlite3-0 3.8.2-1ubuntu2.2+esm5
Available with Ubuntu Pro

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

[USN-7677-1] cloud-init vulnerabilities


==========================================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7677-1
July 28, 2025

cloud-init vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

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

- Ubuntu 25.04
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in cloud-init.

Software Description:
- cloud-init: initialization and customization tool for cloud instances

Details:

Harry Sintonen discovered that the hotplugd socket in cloud-init was world
writable. An attacker could possibly use this issue to send hotplug-hook
commands. (CVE-2024-11584)

It was discovered that cloud-init granted root access to a hardcoded URL
with a local IP address when a non-x86 platform is detected. An attacker
could possibly impersonate an OpenStack endpoint and provide root
configuration data. (CVE-2024-6174)

Update instructions:

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.
