The AI Fix #7: Can AIs speak dolphin and do robots lick toads?

Read Time:28 Second

In episode seven of The AI Fix, Alexa goes wild, Mark learns how to hang a towel on a Peloton for only $39.90 a month, Graham puts the news items in the wrong order, and a strawberry uses the internet.

Graham explains to Mark what bats argue about, our hosts ponder whether AI should always write in Comic Sans, and Mark tells Graham why AIs are like dolphins that smoke pufferfish.

All this and much more is discussed in the latest edition of “The AI Fix” podcast by Graham Cluley and Mark Stockley.

USN-6899-1: GTK vulnerability

Read Time:12 Second

It was discovered that GTK would attempt to load modules from the current
directory, contrary to expectations. If users started GTK applications from
shared directories, a local attacker could use this issue to execute
arbitrary code, and possibly escalate privileges.

USN-6896-2: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Read Time:4 Minute, 25 Second

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)

It was discovered that the Atheros 802.11ac wireless driver did not
properly validate certain data structures, leading to a NULL pointer
dereference. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of
service. (CVE-2023-7042)

Yuxuan Hu discovered that the Bluetooth RFCOMM protocol driver in the Linux
Kernel contained a race condition, leading to a NULL pointer dereference.
An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash). (CVE-2024-22099)

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)

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem
in the Linux kernel when modifying certain settings values through debugfs.
A privileged local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2024-24857, CVE-2024-24858, CVE-2024-24859)

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)

Chenyuan Yang discovered that the Unsorted Block Images (UBI) flash device
volume management subsystem did not properly validate logical eraseblock
sizes in certain situations. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a
denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-25739)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
