kernel: overlayfs: In Ubuntu skip permission checking for trusted.overlayfs.* xattrs

On Ubuntu kernels carrying both c914c0e27eb0 and "UBUNTU: SAUCE: overlayfs: Skip permission checking for trusted.overlayfs.* xattrs", an unprivileged user may set privileged extended attributes on the mounted files, leading them to be set on the upper files without the appropriate security checks.

A vulnerability has been discovered in the Citrix Secure Access client for Ubuntu which, if exploited, could allow an attacker to remotely execute code if a victim user opens an attacker-crafted link and accepts further prompts.

Using the TIOCLINUX ioctl request, a malicious snap could inject contents into the input of the controlling terminal which could allow it to cause arbitrary commands to be executed outside of the snap sandbox after the snap exits. Graphical terminal emulators like xterm, gnome-terminal and others are not affected - this can only be exploited when snaps are run on a virtual console.

kernel: io_uring IORING_OP_SOCKET double free

The Linux kernel io_uring IORING_OP_SOCKET operation contained a double free in function __sys_socket_file() in file net/socket.c. This issue was introduced in da214a475f8bd1d3e9e7a19ddfeb4d1617551bab and fixed in 649c15c7691e9b13cbe9bf6c65c365350e056067.

netplan leaks the private key of wireguard to local users. Versions after 1.0 are not affected.

kernel: posix cpu timer use-after-free may lead to local privilege escalation

It was discovered that when exec'ing from a non-leader thread, armed POSIX CPU timers would be left on a list but freed, leading to a use-after-free.

Apport argument parsing mishandles filename splitting on older kernels resulting in argument spoofing

Apport does not disable python crash handler before entering chroot

is_closing_session() allows users to create arbitrary tcp dbus connections

is_closing_session() allows users to fill up apport.log

Linux deployments of StorageGRID (formerly StorageGRID Webscale) versions 11.6.0 through 11.6.0.2 deployed with a Linux kernel version less than 4.7.0 are susceptible to a vulnerability which could allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to view limited metrics information and modify alert email recipients and content.

USBView 2.1 before 2.2 allows some local users (e.g., ones logged in via SSH) to execute arbitrary code as root because certain Polkit settings (e.g., allow_any=yes) for pkexec disable the authentication requirement. Code execution can, for example, use the --gtk-module option. This affects Ubuntu, Debian, and Gentoo.

Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV) Denial of Service Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the OOXML parsing module in Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV) Software version 0.104.1 and LTS version 0.103.4 and prior versions could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to improper checks that may result in an invalid pointer read. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted OOXML file to an affected device. An exploit could allow the attacker to cause the ClamAV scanning process to crash, resulting in a denial of service condition.

Out-of-bounds Read in vim/vim

Out-of-bounds Read in vim/vim prior to 8.2.

snapd could be made to bypass intended access restrictions through snap content interfaces and layout paths

snapd 2.54.2 fails to perform sufficient validation of snap content interface and layout paths, resulting in the ability for snaps to inject arbitrary AppArmor policy rules via malformed content interface and layout declarations and hence escape strict snap confinement. Fixed in snapd versions 2.54.3+18.04, 2.54.3+20.04 and 2.54.3+21.10.1

polkit: file descriptor leak allows an unprivileged user to cause a crash

There is a flaw in polkit which can allow an unprivileged user to cause polkit to crash, due to process file descriptor exhaustion. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to availability. NOTE: Polkit process outage duration is tied to the failing process being reaped and a new one being spawned

kernel: KVM: SVM: out-of-bounds read/write in sev_es_string_io

A flaw was found in the KVM's AMD code for supporting the Secure Encrypted Virtualization-Encrypted State (SEV-ES). A KVM guest using SEV-ES can trigger out-of-bounds reads and writes in the host kernel via a malicious VMGEXIT for a string I/O instruction (for example, outs or ins) using the exit reason SVM_EXIT_IOIO. This issue results in a crash of the entire system or a potential guest-to-host escape scenario.

aide: heap-based buffer overflow on outputs larger than B64_BUF

AIDE before 0.17.4 allows local users to obtain root privileges via crafted file metadata (such as XFS extended attributes or tmpfs ACLs), because of a heap-based buffer overflow.

In strongSwan before 5.9.5, a malicious responder can send an EAP-Success message too early without actually authenticating the client and (in the case of EAP methods with mutual authentication and EAP-only authentication for IKEv2) even without server authentication.

snapd could be made to escalate privileges and run programs as administrator

A race condition existed in the snapd 2.54.2 snap-confine binary when preparing a private mount namespace for a snap. This could allow a local attacker to gain root privileges by bind-mounting their own contents inside the snap's private mount namespace and causing snap-confine to execute arbitrary code and hence gain privilege escalation. Fixed in snapd versions 2.54.3+18.04, 2.54.3+20.04 and 2.54.3+21.10.1
