Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1844-1
May 30, 2013

linux vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

The system could be made to crash or run programs as an administrator if
it received specially crafted network traffic.

Software Description:
- linux: Linux kernel

Details:

Kees Cook discovered a flaw in the Linux kernel's iSCSI subsystem. A remote
unauthenticated attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of
service (system crash) or potentially gain administrative privileges.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
linux-image-3.2.0-45-generic 3.2.0-45.70
linux-image-3.2.0-45-generic-pae 3.2.0-45.70
linux-image-3.2.0-45-highbank 3.2.0-45.70
linux-image-3.2.0-45-omap 3.2.0-45.70
linux-image-3.2.0-45-powerpc-smp 3.2.0-45.70
linux-image-3.2.0-45-powerpc64-smp 3.2.0-45.70
linux-image-3.2.0-45-virtual 3.2.0-45.70

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.

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 13.04

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.

Software Description:
- linux-ti-omap4: Linux kernel for OMAP4

Details:

An flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's perf_events interface. A local
user could exploit this flaw to escalate privileges on the system.
(CVE-2013-2094)

A buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in the Broadcom tg3 ethernet
driver for the Linux kernel. A local user could exploit this flaw to cause
a denial of service (crash the system) or potentially escalate privileges
on the system. (CVE-2013-1929)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 13.04:
linux-image-3.5.0-225-omap4 3.5.0-225.36

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make

It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled certain requests
submitted using chunked transfer encoding. A remote attacker could use this
flaw to cause the Tomcat server to stop responding, resulting in a denial
of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
(CVE-2012-3544)

It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled certain authentication
requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to inject a
request that would get executed with a victim's credentials. This issue
only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 12.10.
(CVE-2013-2067)

It was discovered that Tomcat sometimes exposed elements of a previous
request to the current request. This could allow a remote attacker to
possibly obtain sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu
12.10 and Ubuntu 13.04. (CVE-2013-2071)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 13.04:
libtomcat7-java 7.0.35-1~exp2ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 12.10:
libtomcat7-java 7.0.30-0ubuntu1.2

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libtomcat6-java 6.0.35-1ubuntu3.3

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
libtomcat6-java 6.0.24-2ubuntu1.13

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1831-2
May 29, 2013

nova regression
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.10

Summary:

USN-1831-1 introduced a regression in OpenStack Nova.

Software Description:
- nova: OpenStack Compute cloud infrastructure

Details:

USN-1831-1 fixed a vulnerability in OpenStack Nova. The upstream fix
introduced a regression where instances using uncached QCOW2 images would
fail to start. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

Loganathan Parthipan discovered that Nova did not verify the size of QCOW2
instance storage. An authenticated attacker could exploit this to cause a
denial of service by creating an image with a large virtual size with
little data, then filling the virtual disk.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 12.10:
python-nova 2012.2.3-0ubuntu2.2

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1833-1
May 24, 2013

linux 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: Linux kernel

Details:

Andy Lutomirski discover an error in the Linux kernel's credential handling
on unix sockets. A local user could exploit this flaw to gain
administrative privileges. (CVE-2013-1979)

A buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in the Broadcom tg3 ethernet
driver for the Linux kernel. A local user could exploit this flaw to cause
a denial of service (crash the system) or potentially escalate privileges
on the system. (CVE-2013-1929)

A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's ftrace subsystem interface. A
local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (system
crash). (CVE-2013-3301)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
linux-image-3.2.0-44-generic 3.2.0-44.69
linux-image-3.2.0-44-generic-pae 3.2.0-44.69
linux-image-3.2.0-44-highbank 3.2.0-44.69
linux-image-3.2.0-44-omap 3.2.0-44.69
linux-image-3.2.0-44-powerpc-smp 3.2.0-44.69
linux-image-3.2.0-44-powerpc64-smp 3.2.0-44.69
linux-image-3.2.0-44-virtual 3.2.0-44.69

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.

tiff vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 13.04
- Ubuntu 12.10
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

LibTIFF could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened a
specially crafted file.

Software Description:
- tiff: Tag Image File Format (TIFF) library

Details:

Emmanuel Bouillon discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain
malformed images when using the tiff2pdf tool. If a user or automated
system were tricked into opening a specially crafted TIFF image, a remote
attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of service, or
possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 13.04:
libtiff5 4.0.2-4ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 12.10:
libtiff5 4.0.2-1ubuntu2.2

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libtiff4 3.9.5-2ubuntu1.5

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
libtiff4 3.9.2-2ubuntu0.13

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1829-1
May 16, 2013

linux-ec2 vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.

Software Description:
- linux-ec2: Linux kernel for EC2

Details:

Mathias Krause discovered an information leak in the Linux kernel's ISO
9660 CDROM file system driver. A local user could exploit this flaw to
examine some of the kernel's heap memory. (CVE-2012-6549)

Mathias Krause discovered a flaw in xfrm_user in the Linux kernel. A local
attacker with NET_ADMIN capability could potentially exploit this flaw to
escalate privileges. (CVE-2013-1826)

A buffer overflow was discovered in the Linux Kernel's USB subsystem for
devices reporting the cdc-wdm class. A specially crafted USB device when
plugged-in could cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly
execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2013-1860)

An information leak was discovered in the Linux kernel's /dev/dvb device. A
local user could exploit this flaw to obtain sensitive information from the
kernel's stack memory. (CVE-2013-1928)

An information leak in the Linux kernel's dcb netlink interface was
discovered. A local user could obtain sensitive information by examining
kernel stack memory. (CVE-2013-2634)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
linux-image-2.6.32-352-ec2 2.6.32-352.65

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.

keystone vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 13.04
- Ubuntu 12.10
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

Keystone would allow unintended access over the network.

Software Description:
- keystone: OpenStack identity service

Details:

Sam Stoelinga discovered that Keystone would not immediately invalidate
tokens when deleting users via the v2 API. A deleted user would be able to
continue to use resources until the token lifetime expired.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 13.04:
python-keystone 1:2013.1-0ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 12.10:
python-keystone
2012.2.3+stable-20130206-82c87e56-0ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
python-keystone
2012.1.3+stable-20130423-f48dd0fc-0ubuntu1.1

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

nova vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 13.04
- Ubuntu 12.10
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

Nova could be made to crash the system if instances used a specially
crafted image.

Software Description:
- nova: OpenStack Compute cloud infrastructure

Details:

Loganathan Parthipan discovered that Nova did not verify the size of QCOW2
instance storage. An authenticated attacker could exploit this to cause a
denial of service by creating an image with a large virtual size with
little data, then filling the virtual disk.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 13.04:
python-nova 1:2013.1-0ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 12.10:
python-nova 2012.2.3-0ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:

firefox vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 13.04
- Ubuntu 12.10
- Ubuntu 12.04 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 memory safety issues were discovered in Firefox. If the user were
tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker could possibly
exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or
potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox.
(CVE-2013-0801, CVE-2013-1669)

Cody Crews discovered that some constructors could be used to bypass
restrictions enforced by their Chrome Object Wrapper (COW). An attacker
could exploit this to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
(CVE-2013-1670)

It was discovered that the file input element could expose the full local
path under certain conditions. An attacker could potentially exploit this
to steal sensitive information. (CVE-2013-1671)

A use-after-free was discovered when resizing video content whilst it is
playing. An attacker could potentially exploit this to execute code with
the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2013-1674)

It was discovered that some DOMSVGZoomEvent functions could be used
without being properly initialized, which could lead to information
leakage. (CVE-2013-1675)

Abhishek Arya discovered multiple memory safety issues in Firefox. If
the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1823-1
May 14, 2013

thunderbird vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 13.04
- Ubuntu 12.10
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in Thunderbird.

Software Description:
- thunderbird: Mozilla Open Source mail and newsgroup client

Details:

Multiple memory safety issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If the user
were tricked into opening a specially crafted message with scripting
enabled, an attacker could possibly exploit these to cause a denial of
service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the
privileges of the user invoking Thunderbird. (CVE-2013-0801,
CVE-2013-1669)

Cody Crews discovered that some constructors could be used to bypass
restrictions enforced by their Chrome Object Wrapper (COW). If a user had
scripting enabled, an attacker could exploit this to conduct cross-site
scripting (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2013-1670)

A use-after-free was discovered when resizing video content whilst it is
playing. If a user had scripting enabled, an attacker could potentially
exploit this to execute code with the privileges of the user invoking
Thunderbird. (CVE-2013-1674)

It was discovered that some DOMSVGZoomEvent functions could be used
without being properly initialized, which could lead to information
leakage. (CVE-2013-1675)

Abhishek Arya discovered multiple memory safety issues in Thunderbird. If
the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted message, an
attacker could possibly exploit these to cause a denial of service via
application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of
the user invoking Thunderbird. (CVE-2013-1676, CVE-2013-1677,
CVE-2013-1678, CVE-2013-1679, CVE-2013-1680, CVE-2013-1681)
