USN-8739-2: ImageMagick vulnerabilities
Ubuntu releases USN-8739-2, extending ImageMagick fixes for four CVEs including possible arbitrary code execution to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
USN-8739-2 provides the ImageMagick fixes from USN-8739-1 for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. The flaws stem from incorrect handling of certain images that could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. The affected CVEs are CVE-2026-56366, CVE-2026-56368, CVE-2026-56371, and CVE-2026-56373.
USN-8739-1: ImageMagick vulnerabilities
Canonical released USN-8739-1 fixing five ImageMagick flaws that could cause denial of service or arbitrary code execution.
Ubuntu security notice USN-8739-1 patches five ImageMagick vulnerabilities: CVE-2026-56366, CVE-2026-56368, CVE-2026-56371, and CVE-2026-56373 allow denial of service via crafted images on Ubuntu 14.04 through 22.04 LTS. CVE-2026-56370 affects Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and 26.04 LTS and could allow denial of service or arbitrary code execution. Users should apply the updated ImageMagick packages to affected releases.
USN-8514-2: OpenSSH vulnerability
Ubuntu backports an OpenSSH fix to older LTS releases for an scp flaw enabling setuid file placement and privilege escalation.
USN-8514-2 extends the USN-8514-1 OpenSSH fix to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, 18.04 LTS, and 20.04 LTS. The flaw stems from incorrect file permission handling when downloading files as root using the legacy scp protocol without the preserve-mode option. An attacker could exploit this to install setuid or setgid files on the system, potentially leading to privilege escalation.
USN-8770-1: SimpleSAMLphp vulnerabilities
Ubuntu patches SimpleSAMLphp signature validation and XXE flaws enabling user impersonation, privilege escalation, and information disclosure.
Ubuntu security notice USN-8770-1 fixes multiple SimpleSAMLphp vulnerabilities. CVE-2019-3465 stems from incorrect cryptographic signature validation in XML messages, allowing an authenticated attacker to impersonate users or gain elevated privileges; it only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and 18.04 LTS. CVE-2024-52596 involves improper handling of external entities when parsing untrusted XML, allowing a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, and did not affect Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. An additional flaw in signature verification for SAML messages using the HTTP-Redirect binding is also addressed.
USN-8749-1: CivetWeb vulnerabilities
Ubuntu USN-8749-1 patches CivetWeb URI and HTTP request parsing flaws enabling remote DoS or possible code execution.
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-8749-1 addresses two CivetWeb vulnerabilities. CVE-2025-55763 involves incorrect URI parsing that could allow a remote attacker to cause denial of service or execute arbitrary code, affecting Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and 24.04 LTS. CVE-2025-9648 involves incorrect HTTP request parsing enabling remote denial of service.
USN-8737-1: GNU C Library vulnerabilities
Ubuntu patches GNU C Library flaws including a strfmon buffer overflow and tdelete out-of-bounds access that could enable code execution.
Ubuntu issued USN-8737-1 fixing multiple GNU C Library vulnerabilities. CVE-2026-19499 is a buffer overflow in the strfmon function when handling right-justification padding, affecting only Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. CVE-2026-19542 is an out-of-bounds stack array access in the tdelete function. An additional issue involves incorrect memory handling in wordexp with the WRDE_APPEND flag. All issues could potentially cause denial of service or arbitrary code execution.
