Jan-Ivar Bruaroey discovered that Firefox did not properly manage memory
when audio input connected with multiple consumers. An attacker could
potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service, or execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-4764)
Thomas Rinsma discovered that Firefox did not properly handle type check
when handling fonts in PDF.js. An attacker could potentially exploit this
issue to execute arbitrary javascript code in PDF.js. (CVE-2024-4367)
Irvan Kurniawan discovered that Firefox did not properly handle certain
font styles when saving a page to PDF. An attacker could potentially
exploit this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-4770)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
firefox 126.0+build2-0ubuntu0.20.04.1

[USN-6777-3] Linux kernel (GCP) vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6777-3
May 21, 2024
linux-gcp vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Software Description:
- linux-gcp: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems
Details:
Zheng Wang discovered that the Broadcom FullMAC WLAN driver in the Linux
kernel contained a race condition during device removal, leading to a use-
after-free vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could possibly
use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-47233)
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:
- Block layer subsystem;
- Userspace I/O drivers;
- Ceph distributed file system;
- Ext4 file system;
- JFS file system;
- NILFS2 file system;
- Bluetooth subsystem;
- Networking core;
- IPv4 networking;
- IPv6 networking;
- Logical Link layer;
- MAC80211 subsystem;
- Netlink;
- NFC subsystem;
- Tomoyo security module;
(CVE-2023-52524, CVE-2023-52530, CVE-2023-52601, CVE-2023-52439,
CVE-2024-26635, CVE-2023-52602, CVE-2024-26614, CVE-2024-26704,

CVE-2024-26735, CVE-2024-26805, CVE-2024-26801, CVE-2023-52583)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
linux-image-4.15.0-1162-gcp 4.15.0-1162.179~16.04.1
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-gcp 4.15.0.1162.179~16.04.1
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-gke 4.15.0.1162.179~16.04.1
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.
