USN-7002-1: Setuptools vulnerability
Read Time:7 Second
It was discovered that setuptools was vulnerable to remote code
execution. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary
code.
USN-7003-2: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Read Time:2 Minute, 7 Second
It was discovered that the JFS file system contained an out-of-bounds read
vulnerability when printing xattr debug information. A local attacker could
use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-40902)
Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.

USN-7001-1: xmltok library vulnerabilities
Read Time:27 Second
Shang-Hung Wan discovered that Expat, contained within the xmltok library,
