USN-7392-2: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Read Time:4 Minute, 5 Second

Chenyuan Yang discovered that the CEC driver driver in the Linux kernel
contained a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this
to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary
code. (CVE-2024-23848)

Attila Szász discovered that the HFS+ file system implementation in the
Linux Kernel contained a heap overflow vulnerability. An attacker could use
a specially crafted file system image that, when mounted, could cause a
denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2025-0927)

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

USN-7346-2: OpenSC regression

Read Time:3 Minute, 0 Second

USN-7346-1 fixed vulnerabilities in OpenSC. The update introduced a
regression in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. The
security fix has been removed pending further investigation.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

It was discovered that OpenSC did not correctly handle certain memory
operations, which could lead to a use-after-free vulnerability. An
attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or
