Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Google Chrome, the most severe of which could allow for arbitrary code execution. Google Chrome is a web browser used to access the Internet. Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the browser. Depending on the privileges associated with the application, an attacker could view, change, or delete data. If this application has been configured to have fewer user rights on the system, exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could have less impact than if it was configured with administrative rights.

Read Time:49 Second

Nicolas Iooss discovered that libsepol incorrectly handled memory
when handling policies. An attacker could possibly use this issue
to cause a crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly
execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-36084)

It was discovered that libsepol incorrectly handled memory when
handling policies. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause

USN-5366-2: FriBidi vulnerabilities

Read Time:45 Second

USN-5366-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in FriBidi. This update provides the
corresponding updates for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

Original advisory details:

It was discovered that FriBidi incorrectly handled processing of input strings
resulting in memory corruption. An attacker could use this issue to cause
FriBidi to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or potentially execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-25308)

It was discovered that FriBidi incorrectly validated input data to its CapRTL
unicode encoder, resulting in memory corruption. An attacker could use this
issue to cause FriBidi to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or
potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-25309)

It was discovered that FriBidi incorrectly handled empty input when removing
marks from unicode strings, resulting in a crash. An attacker could use this
to cause FriBidi to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or potentially
execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-25310)
