Ubuntu Linux has rolled out a series of security updates to address vulnerabilities in various packages, including KaTeX, dwarfutils, MuJS, libblockdev, UDisks, X.Org X Server, Go, Godot Engine, and PAM. The updates affect several versions of Ubuntu, including the latest releases and Long Term Support (LTS) versions.
2. Dwarfutils: Vulnerabilities that could lead to crashes or privilege escalation were addressed.
3. MuJS: Multiple vulnerabilities were resolved, including buffer overflow issues that could allow denial of service or arbitrary code execution.
4. Libblockdev and UDisks: Both packages had vulnerabilities that could allow local attackers to escalate privileges to root when resizing filesystems.
5. X.Org X Server: Various vulnerabilities were patched, potentially preventing crashes and unauthorized code execution.
6. Go: Security issues in the Go programming language compiler were fixed, including improper handling of sensitive headers and URI parsing.
7. Godot Engine: Vulnerabilities related to malformed media files were addressed, preventing potential denial of service and code execution.
8. PAM: A vulnerability was fixed that could allow a local attacker to escalate privileges using user-controlled paths.
For detailed information on each vulnerability, users can refer to the corresponding Ubuntu Security Notices (USNs) listed in the original updates. It is crucial for users and administrators to monitor these updates closely to protect their systems from potential security threats
