USN-6574-1: Go vulnerabilities

Read Time:1 Minute, 5 Second

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. This issue only affected Go 1.20 in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS,
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 23.04. (CVE-2023-39318, CVE-2023-39319)

It was discovered that Go did not properly validate the “//go:cgo_”
directives during compilation. An attacker could possibly use this issue to
inject arbitrary code during compile time. (CVE-2023-39323)

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 into a denial of service.
(CVE-2023-39325, CVE-2023-44487)

It was discovered that the Go net/http module did not properly validate the
chunk extensions reading from a request or response body. An attacker could
possibly use this issue to read sensitive information. (CVE-2023-39326)

It was discovered that Go did not properly validate the insecure “git://”
protocol when using go get to fetch a module with the “.git” suffix. An
attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass secure protocol checks.

USN-6562-2: Firefox regressions

Read Time:1 Minute, 1 Second

USN-6562-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox. The update introduced
several minor regressions. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory 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-2023-6865,
CVE-2023-6857, CVE-2023-6858, CVE-2023-6859, CVE-2023-6866, CVE-2023-6867,

CVE-2023-6864, CVE-2023-6873)

DoHyun Lee discovered that Firefox did not properly manage memory when used
on systems with the Mesa VM driver. An attacker could potentially exploit
this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-6856)

George Pantela and Hubert Kario discovered that Firefox using multiple NSS
NIST curves which were susceptible to a side-channel attack known as
“Minerva”. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to obtain
sensitive information. (CVE-2023-6135)

Andrew Osmond discovered that Firefox did not properly validate the textures
produced by remote decoders. An attacker could potentially exploit this
issue to escape the sandbox. (CVE-2023-6860)

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Linux kernel when
performing operations with kernel objects, leading to an out-of-bounds
write. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-45863)
