Sergei Glazunov discovered that FreeType did not correctly handle certain malformed font files. If a user were tricked into using a specially crafted font file, a remote attacker could cause FreeType to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges.

Andy Nguyen discovered that the Bluetooth L2CAP implementation in the Linux kernel contained a type-confusion error. A physically proximate remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-12351) Andy Nguyen discovered that the Bluetooth A2MP implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize memory in some situations. A physically proximate remote attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2020-12352) Andy Nguyen discovered that the Bluetooth HCI event packet parser in the Linux kernel did not properly handle event advertisements of certain sizes, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. A physically proximate remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-24490)

Andy Nguyen discovered that the Bluetooth L2CAP implementation in the Linux kernel contained a type-confusion error. A physically proximate remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-12351) Andy Nguyen discovered that the Bluetooth A2MP implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize memory in some situations. A physically proximate remote attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2020-12352)

It was discovered that FlightGear could write arbitrary files if received a special nasal script. A remote attacker could exploit this with a crafted file to execute arbitrary code.

It was discovered that Collabtive did not properly validate avatar image file uploads. An authenticated user could exploit this with a crafted file to cause Collabtive to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-0258)

It was discovered that Newsbeuter didn't handle the command line input properly. An remote attacker could use it to ran remote code by crafting a special input file. (CVE-2017-12904) It was discovered that Newsbeuter didn't handle metacharacters in its filename properly. An remote attacker could use it to ran remote code by crafting a special filename. (CVE-2017-14500)

USN-4546-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox. The update introduced various minor regressions. This update fixes the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience. Original advisory 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, conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, spoof the site displayed in the download dialog, or execute arbitrary code.

It was discovered that HtmlUnit incorrectly initialized Rhino engine. An Attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary Java code.

USN-4589-1 fixed a vulnerability in containerd. This update provides the corresponding update for docker.io. Original advisory details: It was discovered that containerd could be made to expose sensitive information when processing URLs in container image manifests. A remote attacker could use this to trick the user and obtain the user's registry credentials.

It was discovered that containerd could be made to expose sensitive information when processing URLs in container image manifests. A remote attacker could use this to trick the user and obtain the user's registry credentials.

It was discovered that PHP incorrectly handled certain encrypt ciphers. An attacker could possibly use this issue to decrease security or cause incorrect encryption data. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-7069) It was discorevered that PHP incorrectly handled certain HTTP cookies. An attacker could possibly use this issue to forge cookie which is supposed to be secure. (CVE-2020-7070)
