|---|---|---|---|
| 2023-12-12 | CVE-2023-5536 | Incorrect Default Permissions vulnerability in Canonical Ubuntu Linux A feature in LXD (LP#1829071), affects the default configuration of Ubuntu Server which allows privileged users in the lxd group to escalate their privilege to root without requiring a sudo password. | 6.4 |
| 2017-12-05 | CVE-2016-1252 | Improper Certificate Validation vulnerability in multiple products The apt package in Debian jessie before 1.0.9.8.4, in Debian unstable before 1.4~beta2, in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS before 1.0.1ubuntu2.17, in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS before 1.2.15ubuntu0.2, and in Ubuntu 16.10 before 1.3.2ubuntu0.1 allows man-in-the-middle attackers to bypass a repository-signing protection mechanism by leveraging improper error handling when validating InRelease file signatures. | 5.9 |
| 2017-07-25 | CVE-2017-7980 | Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products Heap-based buffer overflow in Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA Emulator in Quick Emulator (Qemu) 2.8 and earlier allows local guest OS users to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors related to a VNC client updating its display after a VGA operation. | 7.8 |
| 2017-06-08 | CVE-2017-9022 | Improper Input Validation vulnerability in multiple products The gmp plugin in strongSwan before 5.5.3 does not properly validate RSA public keys before calling mpz_powm_sec, which allows remote peers to cause a denial of service (floating point exception and process crash) via a crafted certificate. | 7.5 |
| 2017-06-01 | CVE-2017-8386 | git-shell in git before 2.4.12, 2.5.x before 2.5.6, 2.6.x before 2.6.7, 2.7.x before 2.7.5, 2.8.x before 2.8.5, 2.9.x before 2.9.4, 2.10.x before 2.10.3, 2.11.x before 2.11.2, and 2.12.x before 2.12.3 might allow remote authenticated users to gain privileges via a repository name that starts with a - (dash) character. | 8.8 |
| 2017-04-14 | CVE-2016-6489 | Information Exposure Through Discrepancy vulnerability in multiple products The RSA and DSA decryption code in Nettle makes it easier for attackers to discover private keys via a cache side channel attack. | 7.5 |
| 2017-04-05 | CVE-2017-7358 | Path Traversal vulnerability in multiple products In LightDM through 1.22.0, a directory traversal issue in debian/guest-account.sh allows local attackers to own arbitrary directory path locations and escalate privileges to root when the guest user logs out. | 7.3 |
| 2017-03-28 | CVE-2017-6964 | Unchecked Return Value vulnerability in multiple products dmcrypt-get-device, as shipped in the eject package of Debian and Ubuntu, does not check the return value of the (1) setuid or (2) setgid function, which might cause dmcrypt-get-device to execute code, which was intended to run as an unprivileged user, as root. | 7.8 |
| 2017-03-27 | CVE-2016-9243 | HKDF in cryptography before 1.5.2 returns an empty byte-string if used with a length less than algorithm.digest_size. | 7.5 |
| 2017-03-23 | CVE-2016-9775 | Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in multiple products The postrm script in the tomcat6 package before 6.0.45+dfsg-1~deb7u3 on Debian wheezy, before 6.0.45+dfsg-1~deb8u1 on Debian jessie, before 6.0.35-1ubuntu3.9 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS; the tomcat7 package before 7.0.28-4+deb7u7 on Debian wheezy, before 7.0.56-3+deb8u6 on Debian jessie, before 7.0.52-1ubuntu0.8 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, 16.04 LTS, and 16.10; and the tomcat8 package before 8.0.14-1+deb8u5 on Debian jessie, before 8.0.32-1ubuntu1.3 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, before 8.0.37-1ubuntu0.1 on Ubuntu 16.10, and before 8.0.38-2ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 17.04 might allow local users with access to the tomcat account to gain root privileges via a setgid program in the Catalina directory, as demonstrated by /etc/tomcat8/Catalina/attack. | 7.8 |
