USN-6587-1 fixed vulnerabilities in X.Org X Server. The fix was incomplete
resulting in a possible regression. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

Jan-Niklas Sohn discovered that the X.Org X Server incorrectly handled
memory when processing the DeviceFocusEvent and ProcXIQueryPointer APIs. An
attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the X Server to crash,
obtain sensitive information, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-6816)

Jan-Niklas Sohn discovered that the X.Org X Server incorrectly handled
reattaching to a different master device. An attacker could use this issue
to cause the X Server to crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly
execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-0229)

Olivier Fourdan and Donn Seeley discovered that the X.Org X Server
incorrectly labeled GLX PBuffers when used with SELinux. An attacker could
use this issue to cause the X Server to crash, leading to a denial of
service. (CVE-2024-0408)

Olivier Fourdan discovered that the X.Org X Server incorrectly handled
the curser code when used with SELinux. An attacker could use this issue to
cause the X Server to crash, leading to a denial of service.
(CVE-2024-0409)

Jan-Niklas Sohn discovered that the X.Org X Server incorrectly handled
memory when processing the XISendDeviceHierarchyEvent API. An attacker
could possibly use this issue to cause the X Server to crash, or execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-21885)

Jan-Niklas Sohn discovered that the X.Org X Server incorrectly handled
devices being disabled. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause
the X Server to crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-21886)

Multiple security issues were discovered in MySQL and this update includes
new upstream MySQL versions to fix these issues.

MySQL has been updated to 8.0.36 in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS,
and Ubuntu 23.10.

In addition to security fixes, the updated packages contain bug fixes, new
features, and possibly incompatible changes.

It was discovered that amanda did not properly check certain arguments. A
local unprivileged attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a
privilege escalation attack.

A vulnerability has been discovered in Trend Micro uiAirSupport, that could allow for arbitrary code execution. Trend Micro uiAirSupport is a support tool product made by Trend Micro. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow for arbitrary code execution in the context of the affected service account. Depending on the privileges associated with the service account an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Service accounts that are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.

The Qualys Research Labs discovered several vulnerabilities in the GNU C
Library’s __vsyslog_internal() function (called by syslog() and
vsyslog()). A heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2023-6246), an off-by-one
heap overflow (CVE-2023-6779) and an integer overflow (CVE-2023-6780)
can be exploited for privilege escalation or denial of service.

Additionally a memory corruption was discovered in the glibc’s qsort()
function, due to missing bounds check and when called by a program
with a non-transitive comparison function and a large number of
attacker-controlled elements. As the use of qsort() with a
non-transitive comparison function is undefined according to POSIX and
ISO C standards, this is not considered a vulnerability in the glibc
itself. However the qsort() implementation was hardened against
misbehaving callers.

Lin Ma discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not
properly validate network family support while creating a new netfilter
table. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or
possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-6040)

It was discovered that the CIFS network file system implementation in the
Linux kernel did not properly validate the server frame size in certain
situation, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. An attacker
could use this to construct a malicious CIFS image that, when operated on,
could cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly expose sensitive
information. (CVE-2023-6606)

Budimir Markovic, Lucas De Marchi, and Pengfei Xu discovered that the perf
subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate all event sizes
when attaching new events, leading to an out-of-bounds write vulnerability.
A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash)
or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-6931)

It was discovered that the IGMP protocol implementation in the Linux kernel
contained a race condition, 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-2023-6932)

It was discovered that the ASUS HID driver in the Linux kernel did not
properly handle device removal, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability.
A local attacker with physical access could plug in a specially crafted USB
device to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-1079)

Jana Hofmann, Emanuele Vannacci, Cedric Fournet, Boris Kopf, and Oleksii
Oleksenko discovered that some AMD processors could leak stale data from
division operations in certain situations. A local attacker could possibly
use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2023-20588)

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Linux kernel when
performing operations with kernel objects, leading to an out-of-bounds
write. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-45863)
