USN-6766-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Read Time:2 Minute, 44 Second

It was discovered that the Open vSwitch implementation in the Linux kernel
could overflow its stack during recursive action operations under certain
conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash). (CVE-2024-1151)

Sander Wiebing, Alvise de Faveri Tron, Herbert Bos, and Cristiano Giuffrida
discovered that the Linux kernel mitigations for the initial Branch History
Injection vulnerability (CVE-2022-0001) were insufficient for Intel
processors. A local attacker could potentially use this to expose sensitive
information. (CVE-2024-2201)

A Vulnerability in Mozilla PDF.js Could Allow for Arbitrary Code Execution

Read Time:32 Second

A vulnerability has been discovered in Mozilla PDF.js could allow for arbitrary code execution. Mozilla PDF.js is a PDF viewer that is built into Mozilla Firefox and can be used by other web browsers. Exploitation of this vulnerability could allow for arbitrary code execution in the context of the logged on user. Depending on the privileges associated with the user, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have less rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.
