- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in Firefox.

Software Description:
- firefox: Mozilla Open Source web browser

Details:

Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were
tricked into opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could
potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive
information across domains, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-6601,
CVE-2024-6604, CVE-2024-6607, CVE-2024-6608, CVE-2024-6610, CVE-2024-6611,
CVE-2024-6612, CVE-2024-6613, CVE-2024-6614, CVE-2024-6615)

It was discovered that Firefox did not properly manage certain memory
operations in the NSS. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to
cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-6602,
CVE-2024-6609)

Irvan Kurniawan discovered that Firefox did not properly manage memory
during thread creation. An attacker could potentially exploit this
issue to cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2024-6603)

It was discovered that Firefox incorrectly handled array accesses in the
clipboard component, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. An
attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or
expose sensitive information. (CVE-2024-6606)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
firefox 128.0+build2-0ubuntu0.20.04.1

After a standard system update you need to restart Firefox to make all the
necessary changes

[USN-6868-2] Linux kernel (AWS) vulnerabilities


==========================================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6868-2
July 10, 2024

linux-aws-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-aws-5.4: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems

Details:

Sander Wiebing, Alvise de Faveri Tron, Herbert Bos, and Cristiano Giuffrida
discovered that the Linux kernel mitigations for the initial Branch History
Injection vulnerability (CVE-2022-0001) were insufficient for Intel
processors. A local attacker could potentially use this to expose sensitive
information. (CVE-2024-2201)

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:
- Netfilter;
(CVE-2024-26925, CVE-2024-26643)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
linux-image-5.4.0-1127-aws 5.4.0-1127.137~18.04.2
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-aws 5.4.0.1127.137~18.04.1
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.

[USN-6866-3] Linux kernel (Azure) vulnerabilities


==========================================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6866-3
July 10, 2024

linux-azure vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

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

- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:
- linux-azure: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems

Details:

It was discovered that the ext4 file system implementation in the Linux
kernel did not properly validate data state on write operations. An
attacker could use this to construct a malicious ext4 file system image
that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2021-33631)

It was discovered that the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) driver in the Linux
kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free
vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or
possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-6270)

Sander Wiebing, Alvise de Faveri Tron, Herbert Bos, and Cristiano Giuffrida
discovered that the Linux kernel mitigations for the initial Branch History
Injection vulnerability (CVE-2022-0001) were insufficient for Intel
processors. A local attacker could potentially use this to expose sensitive
information. (CVE-2024-2201)

Gui-Dong Han discovered that the software RAID driver in the Linux kernel
contained a race condition, leading to an integer overflow vulnerability. A
privileged attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash). (CVE-2024-23307)

Bai Jiaju discovered that the Xceive XC4000 silicon tuner device driver in
the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to an integer overflow
vulnerability. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of
service (system crash). (CVE-2024-24861)

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;
- Hardware random number generator core;
- GPU drivers;
- AFS file system;
- Memory management;
- Netfilter;
(CVE-2024-26642, CVE-2024-26922, CVE-2024-26720, CVE-2024-26736,
CVE-2024-26898, CVE-2021-47063, CVE-2023-52615)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
linux-image-4.15.0-1178-azure 4.15.0-1178.193~14.04.1
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-azure 4.15.0.1178.193~14.04.1
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.
