Ubuntu 18.04 LTS: USN-3874-1 Moderate: Firefox Attack Risks

Firefox could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened a malicious website.. =========================================================================Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3874-1 January 30, 2019 firefox vulnerabilities ========================================================================= A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 18.10 - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Summary: Firefox could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened a malicious website. Software Description: - firefox: Mozilla Open Source web browser Details: Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, gain additional privileges by escaping the sandbox, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-18500, CVE-2018-18501, CVE-2018-18502, CVE-2018-18503, CVE-2018-18504, CVE-2018-18505) It was discovered that Firefox allowed PAC files to specify that requests to localhost are sent through the proxy to another server. If proxy auto-detection is enabled, an attacker could potentially exploit this to conduct attacks on local services and tools. (CVE-2018-18506) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 18.10: firefox 65.0+build2-0ubuntu0.18.10.1 Ubuntu 18.04 LTS: firefox 65.0+build2-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 Ubuntu 16.04 LTS: firefox 65.0+build2-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: firefox 65.0+build2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 After a standard system update you need to restart Firefox to make all the necessary changes.

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS USN-1969-1 Critical: Kernel Flaws Affect OMAP4

Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.. =========================================================================Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1969-1 September 27, 2013 linux-ti-omap4 vulnerabilities ========================================================================= A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the kernel. Software Description: - linux-ti-omap4: Linux kernel for OMAP4 Details: Vince Weaver discovered a flaw in the perf subsystem of the Linux kernel on ARM platforms. A local user could exploit this flaw to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2013-4254) A failure to validate block numbers was discovered in the Linux kernel's implementation of the XFS filesystem. A local user can cause a denial of service (system crash) if they can mount, or cause to be mounted a corrupted or special crafted XFS filesystem. (CVE-2013-1819) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: linux-image-3.2.0-1438-omap4 3.2.0-1438.57 After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes. ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed. If you use linux-restricted-modules, you have to update that package as well to get modules which work with the new kernel version. Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages (e.g. linux-generic, linux-server, linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform this as well.
