apport created lock file in wrong directory

Sander Bos discovered Apport's lock file was in a world-writable directory which allowed all users to prevent crash handling.

Integer overflow in bson_ensure_space

Kevin Backhouse discovered an integer overflow in bson_ensure_space, as used in whoopsie.

Race condition between reading current working directory and writing a core dump

Sander Bos discovered a time of check to time of use (TOCTTOU) vulnerability in apport that allowed a user to cause core files to be written in arbitrary directories.

Apport reads arbitrary files if ~/.config/apport/settings is a symlink

Kevin Backhouse discovered that apport would read a user-supplied configuration file with elevated privileges. By replacing the file with a symbolic link, a user could get apport to read any file on the system as root, with unknown consequences.

Ubuntu kernel snap build process could use unauthenticated sources

The pc-kernel snap build process hardcoded the --allow-insecure-repositories and --allow-unauthenticated apt options when creating the build chroot environment. This could allow an attacker who is able to perform a MITM attack between the build environment and the Ubuntu archive to install a malicious package within the build chroot. This issue affects pc-kernel versions prior to and including 2019-07-16

kernel: tcp: excessive resource consumption for TCP connections with low MSS allows remote denial of service

Jonathan Looney discovered that the Linux kernel default MSS is hard-coded to 48 bytes. This allows a remote peer to fragment TCP resend queues significantly more than if a larger MSS were enforced. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kernel releases 4.4.182, 4.9.182, 4.14.127, 4.19.52, 5.1.11, and is fixed in commits 967c05aee439e6e5d7d805e195b3a20ef5c433d6 and 5f3e2bf008c2221478101ee72f5cb4654b9fc363.

SACK can cause extensive memory use via fragmented resend queue

Jonathan Looney discovered that the TCP retransmission queue implementation in tcp_fragment in the Linux kernel could be fragmented when handling certain TCP Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) sequences. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kernel releases 4.4.182, 4.9.182, 4.14.127, 4.19.52, 5.1.11, and is fixed in commit f070ef2ac66716357066b683fb0baf55f8191a2e.

Integer overflow in TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_segs

Jonathan Looney discovered that the TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_segs value was subject to an integer overflow in the Linux kernel when handling TCP Selective Acknowledgments (SACKs). A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kernel releases 4.4.182, 4.9.182, 4.14.127, 4.19.52, 5.1.11, and is fixed in commit 3b4929f65b0d8249f19a50245cd88ed1a2f78cff.

Integer overflow in whoopsie results in out-of-bounds heap write

An integer overflow in whoopsie before versions 0.2.52.5ubuntu0.1, 0.2.62ubuntu0.1, 0.2.64ubuntu0.1, 0.2.66, results in an out-of-bounds write to a heap allocated buffer when processing large crash dumps. This results in a crash or possible code-execution in the context of the whoopsie process.

coders/xwd.c in GraphicsMagick 1.3.31 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (floating-point exception and application crash) by crafting an XWD image file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2019-11008 and CVE-2019-11009.

evince: uninitialized memory use in function tiff_document_render() and tiff_document_get_thumbnail()

The tiff_document_render() and tiff_document_get_thumbnail() functions in the TIFF document backend in GNOME Evince through 3.32.0 did not handle errors from TIFFReadRGBAImageOriented(), leading to uninitialized memory use when processing certain TIFF image files.

A buffer over-read in Util_urlDecode in util.c in Tildeslash Monit before 5.25.3 allows a remote authenticated attacker to retrieve the contents of adjacent memory via manipulation of GET or POST parameters. The attacker can also cause a denial of service (application outage).

Persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) in http/cervlet.c in Tildeslash Monit before 5.25.3 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to introduce arbitrary JavaScript via manipulation of an unsanitized user field of the Authorization header for HTTP Basic Authentication, which is mishandled during an _viewlog operation.

cyrus-imapd: buffer overflow in CalDAV request handling triggered by a long iCalendar property name

The CalDAV feature in httpd in Cyrus IMAP 2.5.x through 2.5.12 and 3.0.x through 3.0.9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTTP PUT operation for an event with a long iCalendar property name.

libavcodec/hevcdec.c in FFmpeg 3.4 and 4.1.2 mishandles detection of duplicate first slices, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and out-of-array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted HEVC data.

python-urllib3: Certification mishandle when error should be thrown

The urllib3 library before 1.24.2 for Python mishandles certain cases where the desired set of CA certificates is different from the OS store of CA certificates, which results in SSL connections succeeding in situations where a verification failure is the correct outcome. This is related to use of the ssl_context, ca_certs, or ca_certs_dir argument.

freeradius: eap-pwd: authentication bypass via an invalid curve attack

FreeRADIUS before 3.0.19 mishandles the "each participant verifies that the received scalar is within a range, and that the received group element is a valid point on the curve being used" protection mechanism, aka a "Dragonblood" issue, a similar issue to CVE-2019-9498 and CVE-2019-9499.

freeradius: eap-pwd: fake authentication using reflection

FreeRADIUS before 3.0.19 does not prevent use of reflection for authentication spoofing, aka a "Dragonblood" issue, a similar issue to CVE-2019-9497.

Heap-buffer-overflow READ in exif

When PHP EXIF extension is parsing EXIF information from an image, e.g. via exif_read_data() function, in PHP versions 7.2.x below 7.2.26, 7.3.x below 7.3.13 and 7.4.0 it is possible to supply it with data what will cause it to read past the allocated buffer. This may lead to information disclosure or crash.

heap-buffer-overflow on exif_process_user_comment in EXIF extension

When PHP EXIF extension is parsing EXIF information from an image, e.g. via exif_read_data() function, in PHP versions 7.1.x below 7.1.31, 7.2.x below 7.2.21 and 7.3.x below 7.3.8 it is possible to supply it with data what will cause it to read past the allocated buffer. This may lead to information disclosure or crash.
