USN-6943-1: Tomcat vulnerabilities

Read Time:1 Minute, 12 Second

It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled certain uncommon
PersistenceManager with FileStore configurations. A remote attacker could
possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected
tomcat8 for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (CVE-2020-9484)

It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled certain HTTP/2 connection
requests. A remote attacker could use this issue to obtain wrong responses
possibly containing sensitive information. This issue only affected tomcat8
for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (CVE-2021-25122)

Thomas Wozenilek discovered that Tomcat incorectly handlded certain TLS
packets. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial
of service. This issue only affected tomcat8 for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
(CVE-2021-41079)

Trung Pham discovered that a race condition existed in Tomcat when handling
session files with FileStore. A remote attacker could possibly use this
issue to execute arbitrary code. This issue affected tomcat8 for Ubuntu
16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and tomcat9 for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu
20.04 LTS (CVE-2022-23181)

It was discovered that Tomcat’s documentation incorrectly stated that
EncryptInterceptor provided availability protection when running over an
untrusted network. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause
a denial of service even if EncryptInterceptor was being used. This issue
affected tomcat8 for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and tomcat9 for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS,
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (CVE-2022-29885)

USN-6909-2: Bind vulnerabilities

Read Time:31 Second

USN-6909-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in Bind. This update provides
the corresponding update for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Original advisory details:

Toshifumi Sakaguchi discovered that Bind incorrectly handled having a very
large number of RRs existing at the same time. A remote attacker could
possibly use this issue to cause Bind to consume resources, leading to a
denial of service. (CVE-2024-1737)

It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled a large number of SIG(0)
signed requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause
Bind to consume resources, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2024-1975)

USN-6926-2: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Read Time:1 Minute, 43 Second

黄思聪 discovered that the NFC Controller Interface (NCI) implementation in
the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain memory allocation failure
conditions, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2023-46343)

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)

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)

Supraja Sridhara, Benedict Schlüter, Mark Kuhne, Andrin Bertschi, and
Shweta Shinde discovered that the Confidential Computing framework in the
Linux kernel for x86 platforms did not properly handle 32-bit emulation on
TDX and SEV. An attacker with access to the VMM could use this to cause a
denial of service (guest crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2024-25744)

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:
– GPU drivers;
– HID subsystem;
– I2C subsystem;
– MTD block device drivers;
– Network drivers;
– TTY drivers;
– USB subsystem;
– File systems infrastructure;
– F2FS file system;
– SMB network file system;
– BPF subsystem;
– B.A.T.M.A.N. meshing protocol;
– Bluetooth subsystem;
– Networking core;
– IPv4 networking;
– IPv6 networking;
– Netfilter;
– Unix domain sockets;
– AppArmor security module;

USN-6941-1: Python vulnerability

Read Time:10 Second

It was discovered that the Python ipaddress module contained incorrect
information about which IP address ranges were considered “private” or
“globally reachable”. This could possibly result in applications applying
incorrect security policies.

Security Fixes

A malicious DNS client that sent many queries over TCP but never read the responses could cause a server to respond slowly or not at all for other clients. This has been fixed. (CVE-2024-0760) [GL #4481]

It is possible to craft excessively large resource records sets, which have the effect of slowing down database processing. This has been addressed by adding a configurable limit to the number of records that can be stored per name and type in a cache or zone database. The default is 100, which can be tuned with the new max-records-per-type option. [GL #497] [GL #3405]

It is possible to craft excessively large numbers of resource record types for a given owner name, which has the effect of slowing down database processing. This has been addressed by adding a configurable limit to the number of records that can be stored per name and type in a cache or zone database. The default is 100, which can be tuned with the new max-types-per-name option. (CVE-2024-1737) [GL #3403]

ISC would like to thank Toshifumi Sakaguchi who independently discovered and responsibly reported the issue to ISC. [GL #4548]

Validating DNS messages signed using the SIG(0) protocol (RFC 2931) could cause excessive CPU load, leading to a denial-of-service condition. Support for SIG(0) message validation was removed from this version of named. (CVE-2024-1975) [GL #4480]

Due to a logic error, lookups that triggered serving stale data and required lookups in local authoritative zone data could have resulted in an assertion failure. This has been fixed. (CVE-2024-4076) [GL #4507]

Potential data races were found in our DoH implementation, related to HTTP/2 session object management and endpoints set object management after reconfiguration. These issues have been fixed. [GL #4473]

ISC would like to thank Dzintars and Ivo from nic.lv for bringing this to our attention.

When looking up the NS records of parent zones as part of looking up DS records, it was possible for named to trigger an assertion failure if serve-stale was enabled. This has been fixed. [GL #4661]
