Kernel panic via NULL pointer dereference in Ubuntu Linux 6.8's AppArmor notification handler allows a locally authenticated, unprivileged user to crash the system. The flaw resides in Ubuntu-specific SAUCE patches - out-of-tree modifications maintained by Canonical - meaning the vulnerable code path does not exist in upstream mainline kernels. With a CVSS score of 5.5 and an availability-only impact, the practical consequence is a local denial-of-service: any low-privilege user with shell access can force a kernel panic. No active exploitation has been confirmed by CISA KEV and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.
Kernel availability loss in Ubuntu Linux 6.8, 6.17, and 7.0 can be triggered by any unprivileged local user via a defect in Ubuntu-specific AppArmor SAUCE patches, where notification handling code incorrectly sleeps while holding a spinlock. Violating this kernel locking invariant results in kernel panic or deadlock, causing a full system crash or hang. No public exploit code has been identified and this vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the low-complexity, low-privilege trigger conditions make it a realistic denial-of-service risk on any multi-user Ubuntu system running the affected kernel versions.
Out-of-bounds read in Ubuntu Linux kernels 6.8, 6.17, and 7.0 exposes adjacent slab allocator memory to any local low-privileged user. The flaw originates in Canonical's Ubuntu-specific AppArmor SAUCE patches, which incorrectly validate the size of an internal structure during notification handling, enabling controlled reads past the intended memory boundary. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and exploitation is strictly local; however, C:H in the CVSS vector confirms that successful exploitation can yield high-sensitivity kernel or cross-process data from slab neighbors.
Incorrect caching of AppArmor notification responses in Ubuntu Linux kernel versions 6.8, 7.17, and 7.0 stems from an uninitialized variable (CWE-457) in Ubuntu-specific AppArmor SAUCE patch code. An unprivileged local user can trigger this bug to corrupt the AppArmor notification response cache, producing a low-severity integrity impact. No public exploit code exists and this vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog; the CVSS score of 3.3 (Low) reflects its constrained local-only, limited-impact nature.
Ubuntu Linux kernel SAUCE patches (versions 6.8, 6.17, and 7.0) improperly validate the size of the name field in AppArmor notification responses, allowing a local low-privileged user to trigger handling of crafted responses with potential limited integrity impact. The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 3.3 (Low) with a local attack vector, restricted to integrity effects only and no confidentiality or availability consequences. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and this vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV.
Ubuntu Linux kernels 6.8, 6.17, and 7.0 ship Ubuntu-specific AppArmor SAUCE patches that incorrectly call kfree() on a pointer never allocated via kmalloc(), while simultaneously leaking the legitimately allocated memory. Any unprivileged local user can trigger this kernel memory management flaw, corrupting slab allocator metadata and driving the system toward resource exhaustion or instability. No public exploit code exists and no CISA KEV listing is present at time of analysis; however, CVSS rates availability impact as High given the potential for kernel-level denial of service.
NULL pointer dereference in Ubuntu Linux kernel versions 6.8, 6.17, and 7.0 allows a local unprivileged user to crash the kernel via the AppArmor notification handling path. The flaw exists exclusively in Ubuntu-specific SAUCE patches layered on top of the upstream Linux kernel, meaning only Ubuntu kernels carrying these versions are affected - not upstream Linux or other distributions. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; the impact is limited to a kernel oops (availability loss, CVSS A:L), with no confidentiality or integrity impact.
Memory exhaustion via AppArmor notification handling affects Ubuntu Linux kernel versions carrying Ubuntu-specific SAUCE patches (6.8, 6.17, 7.0). An unprivileged local user can trigger a memory leak by eliciting large responses to AppArmor userspace notifications, repeatedly consuming kernel memory without release. No active exploitation confirmed (not in CISA KEV) and no public exploit code identified, but the low-privilege local trigger lowers the bar for insider or co-tenant abuse in multi-user and container environments.
Sudo before 1.9.17p1 contains a local root escalation vulnerability (CVE-2025-32463, CVSS 9.3) through the --chroot option, which loads /etc/nsswitch.conf from the user-controlled chroot directory instead of the host system. KEV-listed with EPSS 26.5% and public PoC, this vulnerability allows any user with sudo --chroot access to achieve root privileges by placing a malicious nsswitch configuration and library in their chroot.
Race condition in Canonical apport up to and including 2.32.0 allows a local attacker to leak sensitive information via PID-reuse by leveraging namespaces. Rated medium severity (CVSS 4.7). Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.
A flaw was found in the OpenSSH package. Rated medium severity (CVSS 5.9), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required. Epss exploitation probability 42.5% and no vendor patch available.
Remote code execution in OpenSSH's sshd server (regression of CVE-2006-5051) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to exploit a signal handler race condition by failing to authenticate within the LoginGraceTime window, potentially yielding root-level code execution on glibc-based Linux systems. The flaw - widely known as 'regreSSHion' - affects numerous distributions and vendor appliances including Ubuntu 23.10/24.04, AlmaLinux 9, SonicWall SMA firmware, Arista EOS, NetApp ONTAP, and others. Publicly available exploit code exists and EPSS scores it at 48.06% (98th percentile), reflecting very high exploitation likelihood, though it is not currently listed in CISA KEV.
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in GStreamer's RTSP connection parser that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted response from a malicious RTSP server. The vulnerability affects all GStreamer versions prior to 1.16.0 and requires user interaction (connecting to a malicious server), with a CVSS score of 8.8 indicating high severity. While no active exploitation has been confirmed (not in KEV), the vulnerability has been publicly disclosed with security advisories available, and the attack vector is relatively straightforward for attackers with RTSP protocol knowledge.
