Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7117-1

Ubuntu Security Notice 7117-1 - Qualys discovered that needrestart passed unsanitized data to a library which expects safe input. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code as root. Qualys discovered that the library libmodule-scandeps-perl incorrectly parsed perl code. This could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands.

Malicious QR Codes: How big of a problem is it, really?

QR codes are disproportionately effective at bypassing most anti-spam filters. Talos discovered two effective methods for defanging malicious QR codes, a necessary step to make them safe for consumption.

GHSA-5jfw-gq64-q45f: HTML Cleaner allows crafted scripts in special contexts like svg or math to pass through

### Impact The HTML Parser in lxml does not properly handle context-switching for special HTML tags such as `<svg>`, `<math>` and `<noscript>`. This behavior deviates from how web browsers parse and interpret such tags. Specifically, content in CSS comments is ignored by lxml_html_clean but may be interpreted differently by web browsers, enabling malicious scripts to bypass the cleaning process. This vulnerability could lead to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, compromising the security of users relying on lxml_html_clean in default configuration for sanitizing untrusted HTML content. ### Patches Users employing the HTML cleaner in a security-sensitive context should upgrade to lxml 0.4.0, which addresses this issue. ### Workarounds As a temporary mitigation, users can configure lxml_html_clean with the following settings to prevent the exploitation of this vulnerability: * `remove_tags`: Specify tags to remove - their content is moved to their parents' tags. * `kill_tags`: Spec...

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7108-1

Ubuntu Security Notice 7108-1 - Fabian Bäumer, Marcus Brinkmann, and Joerg Schwenk discovered that AsyncSSH did not properly handle the extension info message. An attacker able to intercept communications could possibly use this issue to downgrade the algorithm used for client authentication. Fabian Bäumer, Marcus Brinkmann, and Joerg Schwenk discovered that AsyncSSH did not properly handle the user authentication request message. An attacker could possibly use this issue to control the remote end of an SSH client session via packet injection/removal and shell emulation.

Security of LLMs and LLM systems: Key risks and safeguards

Now that large language models (LLMs) and LLM systems are flourishing, it’s important to reflect upon their security, the risks affecting them and the security controls to reduce these risks to acceptable levels.First of all, let’s differentiate between LLMs and LLM systems. This difference is key when analyzing the risks and the countermeasures that need to be applied. An LLM is an algorithm designed to analyze data, identify patterns and make predictions based on that data. A LLM system is a piece of software composed of artificial intelligence (AI) components, which includes a LLM along

GHSA-2ppf-2m6f-6v6f: OpenStack improperly deletes access rules

A flaw was found in OpenStack. When a user tries to delete a non-existing access rule in it's scope, it deletes other existing access rules which are not associated with any application credentials.

GHSA-hvw5-3mgw-7rcf: Debezium database connector has a script injection vulnerability

A script injection vulnerability was found in the Debezium database connector, where it does not properly sanitize some parameters. This flaw allows an attacker to send a malicious request to inject a parameter that may allow the viewing of unauthorized data.
