Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2583-1
Ubuntu Security Notice 2583-1 – A race condition between chown() and execve() was discovered in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could exploit this race by using chown on a setuid-user-binary to gain administrative privileges.
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2588-1
Ubuntu Security Notice 2588-1 – A stack overflow was discovered in the the microcode loader for the intel x86 platform. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) or to potentially execute code with kernel privileges. It was discovered that the Linux kernel’s IPv6 networking stack has a flaw that allows using route advertisement (RA) messages to set the ‘hop_limit’ to values that are too low. An unprivileged attacker on a local network could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (IPv6 messages dropped). Various other issues were also addressed.
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2590-1
Ubuntu Security Notice 2590-1 – Jan Beulich discovered the Xen virtual machine subsystem of the Linux kernel did not properly restrict access to PCI command registers. A local guest user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (host crash). A stack overflow was discovered in the the microcode loader for the intel x86 platform. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) or to potentially execute code with kernel privileges. Various other issues were also addressed.
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2589-1
Ubuntu Security Notice 2589-1 – Jan Beulich discovered the Xen virtual machine subsystem of the Linux kernel did not properly restrict access to PCI command registers. A local guest user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (host crash). A stack overflow was discovered in the the microcode loader for the intel x86 platform. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) or to potentially execute code with kernel privileges. Various other issues were also addressed.
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2585-1
Ubuntu Security Notice 2585-1 – It was discovered that the Linux kernel’s IPv6 networking stack has a flaw that allows using route advertisement (RA) messages to set the ‘hop_limit’ to values that are too low. An unprivileged attacker on a local network could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (IPv6 messages dropped).
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2591-1
Ubuntu Security Notice 2591-1 – Paras Sethia discovered that curl could incorrectly re-use NTLM HTTP credentials when subsequently connecting to the same host over HTTP. Hanno B=C3=B6ck discovered that curl incorrectly handled zero-length host names. If a user or automated system were tricked into using a specially crafted host name, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause curl to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.10 and Ubuntu 15.04. Various other issues were also addressed.
