USN-5687-1: Linux kernel (Azure) vulnerabilities

Read Time:1 Minute, 32 Second

It was discovered that the SUNRPC RDMA protocol implementation in the Linux
kernel did not properly calculate the header size of a RPC message payload.
A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel
memory). (CVE-2022-0812)

Moshe Kol, Amit Klein and Yossi Gilad discovered that the IP implementation
in the Linux kernel did not provide sufficient randomization when
calculating port offsets. An attacker could possibly use this to expose
sensitive information. (CVE-2022-1012, CVE-2022-32296)

Duoming Zhou discovered that race conditions existed in the timer handling
implementation of the Linux kernel’s Rose X.25 protocol layer, resulting in
use-after-free vulnerabilities. A local attacker could use this to cause a
denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-2318)

Roger Pau Monné discovered that the Xen virtual block driver in the Linux
kernel did not properly initialize memory pages to be used for shared
communication with the backend. A local attacker could use this to expose
sensitive information (guest kernel memory). (CVE-2022-26365)

Roger Pau Monné discovered that the Xen paravirtualization frontend in the
Linux kernel did not properly initialize memory pages to be used for shared
communication with the backend. A local attacker could use this to expose
sensitive information (guest kernel memory). (CVE-2022-33740)

It was discovered that the Xen paravirtualization frontend in the Linux
kernel incorrectly shared unrelated data when communicating with certain
backends. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(guest crash) or expose sensitive information (guest kernel memory).
(CVE-2022-33741, CVE-2022-33742)

Oleksandr Tyshchenko discovered that the Xen paravirtualization platform in
the Linux kernel on ARM platforms contained a race condition in certain
situations. An attacker in a guest VM could use this to cause a denial of
service in the host OS. (CVE-2022-33744)

USN-5686-1: Git vulnerabilities

Read Time:15 Second

Cory Snider discovered that Git incorrectly handled certain symbolic links.
An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause an unexpected behaviour.
(CVE-2022-39253)

Kevin Backhouse discovered that Git incorrectly handled certain command strings.
An attacker could possibly use this issue to arbitrary code execution.
(CVE-2022-39260)

CVE-2020-15853

Read Time:9 Second

supybot-fedora implements the command ‘refresh’, that refreshes the cache of all users from FAS. This takes quite a while to run, and zodbot stops responding to requests during this time.

USN-5685-1: FRR vulnerabilities

Read Time:22 Second

It was discovered that FRR incorrectly handled parsing certain BGP
messages. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause FRR to
crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2022-37032)

It was discovered that FRR incorrectly handled processing certain BGP
messages. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause FRR to
crash, resulting in a denial of service, obtain sensitive information,
or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-37035)
