Ubuntu Security Advisories

Daniele Antonioli discovered that the Secure Simple Pairing and Secure Connections pairing in the Bluetooth protocol could allow an unauthenticated user to complete authentication without pairing credentials. A physically proximate attacker placed between two Bluetooth devices could use this to subsequently impersonate one of the paired devices. (CVE-2023-24023) Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - JFS file system; - Netfilter; (CVE-2024-26581, CVE-2023-52600, CVE-2023-52603)

USN-6744-1 fixed a vulnerability in Pillow (Python 3). This update provides the corresponding updates for Pillow (Python 2) in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Original advisory details: Hugo van Kemenade discovered that Pillow was not properly performing bounds checks when processing an ICC file, which could lead to a buffer overflow. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted ICC file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

It was discovered that in Percona XtraBackup, a local crafted filename could trigger arbitrary code execution.

Fabian Bäumer, Marcus Brinkmann, and Jörg Schwenk discovered that LXD incorrectly handled the handshake phase and the use of sequence numbers in SSH Binary Packet Protocol (BPP). If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass integrity checks.

Wei Chen discovered that a race condition existed in the TIPC protocol implementation in the Linux kernel, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-1382) It was discovered that the virtio network implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle file references in the host, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability.
