USN-5702-1: curl vulnerabilities

Read Time:52 Second

Robby Simpson discovered that curl incorrectly handled certain POST
operations after PUT operations. This issue could cause applications using
curl to send the wrong data, perform incorrect memory operations, or crash.
(CVE-2022-32221)

Hiroki Kurosawa discovered that curl incorrectly handled parsing .netrc
files. If an attacker were able to provide a specially crafted .netrc file,
this issue could cause curl to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.10. (CVE-2022-35260)

It was discovered that curl incorrectly handled certain HTTP proxy return
codes. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause curl to crash,
resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This
issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 22.10. (CVE-2022-42915)

Hiroki Kurosawa discovered that curl incorrectly handled HSTS support
when certain hostnames included IDN characters. A remote attacker could
possibly use this issue to cause curl to use unencrypted connections. This
issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 22.10. (CVE-2022-42916)

USN-5700-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Read Time:1 Minute, 21 Second

David Bouman and Billy Jheng Bing Jhong discovered that a race condition
existed in the io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel, leading to 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-2022-2602)

Sönke Huster discovered that an integer overflow vulnerability existed in
the WiFi driver stack in the Linux kernel, leading to a buffer overflow. A
physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-41674)

Sönke Huster discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the
WiFi driver stack in the Linux kernel. A physically proximate attacker
could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly
execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-42719)

Sönke Huster discovered that the WiFi driver stack in the Linux kernel did
not properly perform reference counting in some situations, leading to a
use-after-free vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could use
this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-42720)

Sönke Huster discovered that the WiFi driver stack in the Linux kernel did
not properly handle BSSID/SSID lists in some situations. A physically
proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (infinite
loop). (CVE-2022-42721)

Sönke Huster discovered that the WiFi driver stack in the Linux kernel
contained a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in certain situations. A
physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash). (CVE-2022-42722)
