[USN-7060-1] EDK II vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7060-1
October 10, 2024
edk2 vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in EDK II.
Software Description:
- edk2: UEFI firmware for virtual machines
Details:
It was discovered that EDK II did not check the buffer length in XHCI,
which could lead to a stack overflow. A local attacker could potentially
use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2019-0161)
Laszlo Ersek discovered that EDK II incorrectly handled recursion. A
remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause EDK II to consume
resources, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-28210)
Satoshi Tanda discovered that EDK II incorrectly handled decompressing
certain images. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause EDK II to
crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary
code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
(CVE-2021-28211)
It was discovered that EDK II incorrectly decoded certain strings. A remote
attacker could use this issue to cause EDK II to crash, resulting in a
denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only
affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-38575)
It was discovered that EDK II had integer underflow vulnerability in
SmmEntryPoint, which could result in a buffer overflow. An attacker
could potentially use this issue to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2021-38578)
Elison Niven discovered that OpenSSL, vendored in EDK II, incorrectly
handled the c_rehash script. A local attacker could possibly use this
issue to execute arbitrary commands when c_rehash is run. This issue
only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-1292)

[USN-7022-3] Linux kernel vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7022-3
October 10, 2024
linux-raspi-5.4 vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Software Description:
- linux-raspi-5.4: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi systems
Details:
Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems:
- GPU drivers;
- Modular ISDN driver;
- MMC subsystem;
- SCSI drivers;
- F2FS file system;
- GFS2 file system;
- Netfilter;
- RxRPC session sockets;
- Integrity Measurement Architecture(IMA) framework;
(CVE-2021-47188, CVE-2024-39494, CVE-2022-48791, CVE-2022-48863,
CVE-2024-42228, CVE-2024-38570, CVE-2024-42160, CVE-2024-26787,
CVE-2024-27012, CVE-2024-26677)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
linux-image-5.4.0-1117-raspi 5.4.0-1117.129~18.04.1
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-raspi-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.1117.129~18.04.1
Available with Ubuntu Pro
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.

Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in Go.
Software Description:
- golang-1.17: Go programming language compiler - metapackage
Details:
Hunter Wittenborn discovered that Go incorrectly handled the sanitization
of environment variables. An attacker could possibly use this issue to run
arbitrary commands. (CVE-2023-24531)
Sohom Datta discovered that Go did not properly validate backticks (`) as
Javascript string delimiters, and did not escape them as expected. An
attacker could possibly use this issue to inject arbitrary Javascript code
into the Go template. (CVE-2023-24538)
Juho Nurminen discovered that Go incorrectly handled certain special
characters in directory or file paths. An attacker could possibly use
this issue to inject code into the resulting binaries. (CVE-2023-29402)
Vincent Dehors discovered that Go incorrectly handled permission bits.
An attacker could possibly use this issue to read or write files with
elevated privileges. (CVE-2023-29403)
Juho Nurminen discovered that Go incorrectly handled certain crafted
arguments. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary
code at build time. (CVE-2023-29405)

headers. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to inject
additional headers or entire requests. (CVE-2023-29406)
Takeshi Kaneko discovered that Go did not properly handle comments and
special tags in the script context of html/template module. An attacker
could possibly use this issue to inject Javascript code and perform a
cross-site scripting attack. (CVE-2023-39318, CVE-2023-39319)
It was discovered that Go did not limit the number of simultaneously
executing handler goroutines in the net/http module. An attacker could
possibly use this issue to cause a panic resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2023-39325)
It was discovered that the Go html/template module did not validate errors
returned from MarshalJSON methods. An attacker could possibly use this
issue to inject arbitrary code into the Go template. (CVE-2024-24785)
