Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Google Android OS, the most severe of which could allow for arbitrary code execution. Android is an operating system developed by Google for mobile devices, including, but not limited to, smartphones, tablets, and watches. Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow for arbitrary code execution. Depending on the privileges associated with the exploited component, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full rights.

USN-5655-1: Linux kernel (Intel IoTG) vulnerabilities
It was discovered that the framebuffer driver on the Linux kernel did not
verify size limits when changing font or screen size, leading to an out-of-
bounds write. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-33655)
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)
Jan Beulich discovered that the Xen network device frontend driver in the
Linux kernel incorrectly handled socket buffers (skb) references when
communicating with certain backends. A local attacker could use this to
cause a denial of service (guest crash). (CVE-2022-33743)
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)
It was discovered that the virtio RPMSG bus driver in the Linux kernel
contained a double-free vulnerability in certain error conditions. A local
attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash). (CVE-2022-34494, CVE-2022-34495)
Domingo Dirutigliano and Nicola Guerrera discovered that the netfilter
subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle rules that truncated
packets below the packet header size. When such rules are in place, a
remote attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash). (CVE-2022-36946)
USN-5654-1: Linux kernel (GKE) vulnerabilities
It was discovered that the framebuffer driver on the Linux kernel did not
verify size limits when changing font or screen size, leading to an out-of-
bounds write. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-33655)
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)
Norbert Slusarek discovered that a race condition existed in the perf
subsystem in the Linux kernel, resulting in a use-after-free vulnerability.
A privileged local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1729)
It was discovered that the device-mapper verity (dm-verity) driver in the
Linux kernel did not properly verify targets being loaded into the device-
mapper table. A privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of
service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-2503)
Domingo Dirutigliano and Nicola Guerrera discovered that the netfilter
subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle rules that truncated
packets below the packet header size. When such rules are in place, a
remote attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash). (CVE-2022-36946)
USN-5653-1: Django vulnerability
Benjamin Balder Bach discovered that Django incorrectly handled certain
internationalized URLs. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to
cause Django to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
ZDI-22-1328: Apache Batik DefaultExternalResourceSecurity Server-Side Request Forgery Information Disclosure Vulnerability
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Apache Batik. Interaction with this library is required to exploit this vulnerability but attack vectors may vary depending on the implementation.
ZDI-22-1327: Apache Batik DefaultScriptSecurity Server-Side Request Forgery Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Apache Batik. Interaction with this library is required to exploit this vulnerability but attack vectors may vary depending on the implementation.
DSA-5247 barbican – security update
Douglas Mendizabal discovered that Barbican, the OpenStack Key Management
Service, incorrectly parsed requests which could allow an authenticated
user to bypass Barbican access policies.
DSA-5246 mediawiki – security update
Multiple security issues were discovered in MediaWiki, a website engine
for collaborative work, which could result in restriction bypass,
information leaks, cross-site scripting or denial of service.
DSA-5248 php-twig – security update
Marlon Starkloff discovered that twig, a template engine for PHP, did
not correctly enforce sandboxing. This would allow a malicious user to
execute arbitrary code.
USN-5651-2: strongSwan vulnerability
USN-5651-1 fixed a vulnerability in strongSwan. This update provides
the corresponding update for Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and Ubuntu 16.04 ESM.
Original advisory details:
Lahav Schlesinger discovered that strongSwan incorrectly handled certain OCSP URIs and
and CRL distribution points (CDP) in certificates. A remote attacker could
possibly use this issue to initiate IKE_SAs and send crafted certificates
that contain URIs pointing to servers under their control, which can lead
to a denial-of-service attack.
