CVE-2026-93336Missing authorization in the unit resources download route in Canonical Juju 4.0 through 4.0.15 allows a controller-authenticated principal (a unit agent, or a user with only...
Executive summaryA missing authorization check in the unit resources download route of Canonical Juju 4.0 through 4.0.15 lets any user who can log in to the controller, or a unit agent acting for another unit, download a unit's resource. The advisory does not state a severity score. The advisory does not state a vendor recommendation or a fixed version; the attached change restricts the route to unit and application agents and checks that the unit in the URL matches the caller. Technical summaryThe flaw is a missing authorization check, classed in the advisory as CWE-style missing authorization, in the GET /model/:modeluuid/units/:unit/resources/:resource route. The route was registered with an always-allow authorizer and its opener getter dropped the tag kinds, so any authenticated controller principal, including a user with only login access, could stream a resource and have SetUnitResource recorded against the named unit. Exploitation needs only valid controller credentials and knowledge of a unit name in the model. The discussion describes a fix that limits the route to unit and application agents and binds the URL unit to the authenticated agent, but the fixed Juju version is not stated in the advisory. No workaround is stated, no CVSS score is stated, and no exploitation in the wild is stated. Detection guidance is not stated as such, although the discussion includes curl test requests that return 403 after the fix. Summaries are generated by AI from the linked advisory text. Confirm versions and fixes at the source. Summarized from github.com/juju/juju/pull/23360 Impact if exploitedConfidentialityHigh IntegrityLow AvailabilityNone

CVE-2026-102631In authd before 0.7.1, the user identity matching in UpdateUser (internal/users/manager.go) resolves an incoming login by the broker-scoped provider ID, but falls back to...
From the advisoryIn authd before 0.7.1, the user identity matching in UpdateUser (internal/users/manager.go) resolves an incoming login by the broker-scoped provider ID, but falls back to matching the username when the provider ID does not belong to any known user, and does not reject a conflicting non-empty provider ID. If an identity provider reassigns an email address, which authd uses as the username, to a new account, the new account inherits the previous user's local UID and home directory on its next login. This allows the new user to access and modify files belonging to the previous user, including credentials such as SSH keys and cloud API tokens, and silently rebinds the local account record to the new identity. As a mitigation, administrators should lock or delete the previous user's local authd account when the corresponding IdP account is removed.

CVE-2026-104055The postgresql-operator charm runs a Prometheus postgres_exporter to collect database metrics using a dedicated "monitoring" PostgreSQL user
From the advisoryThe postgresql-operator charm runs a Prometheus postgres_exporter to collect database metrics using a dedicated "monitoring" PostgreSQL user. On database connection errors, the exporter writes the monitoring user's password in cleartext to its logs. Any actor able to read those logs can recover the password, which grants read-only pg_monitor access to PostgreSQL. This is fixed in the dev track (14/edge) in revisions 1189 (arm64) and 1190 (amd64), and in the stable track (14/stable) in revisions 1216 (arm64) and 1217 (amd64).

From the advisoryIn wsl-pro-service before 0.1.19ubuntu3, the service component which runs as root inside each WSL instance attaches the instance to Ubuntu Pro by executing the pro client with the Ubuntu Pro token passed as a command-line argument (pro attach <token>). On systems where /proc is mounted without process-hiding mitigations (such as hidepid), which is the default in WSL, an unprivileged local user or process in the same WSL instance can read the token from /proc/<pid>/cmdline while the attach process is running. The leaked token could then be used to attach other machines to the victim's Ubuntu Pro subscription and gain unauthorized access to Ubuntu Pro services.

Executive summarySeveral security flaws were fixed in libsoup3, a networking library used by applications on Ubuntu 26.10. The advisory says the issues could allow denial of service, disclosure of sensitive information, security control bypass, or possibly code execution, but it does not give an overall severity rating. Ubuntu recommends updating libsoup3 to the fixed version delivered for Ubuntu 26.10. Technical summaryThe advisory describes several flaws in libsoup's handling of HTTP/2 requests and transfers, HTTPS proxy connections, chunked HTTP requests, proxy authentication credentials, and HTTP Range headers. Attackers are described as remote, and the advisory says the impacts range from denial of service to information disclosure, security control bypass, and possibly arbitrary code execution for one HTTP/2 connection issue (CVE-2026-85197). The advisory does not state the exact vulnerability classes, CVSS scores, or the specific package version numbers that fix the issues. It also does not state workarounds or detection guidance. The advisory says the fixes apply to libsoup3 on Ubuntu 26.10, and it notes that several issues only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, 24.04 LTS, and 26.04 LTS.

USN-8951-1CVE-2020-22217CVE-2022-4904CVE-2026-69184CVE-2026-69186c-ares vulnerabilities
Executive summaryCanonical's notice USN-8951-1 covers several security flaws in c-ares, a library that performs asynchronous DNS name resolution, on supported Ubuntu releases from 16.04 LTS through 26.04 LTS. The advisory describes the issues as causing denial of service, and some as possibly allowing code execution on older releases. The vendor recommends updating to the fixed c-ares package versions listed in the notice, usually through a standard system update. Technical summaryThe flaws include incorrect parsing of certain SOA replies (CVE-2020-22217, affecting Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 only), mishandling of sortlist strings (CVE-2022-4904, affecting Ubuntu 16.04 only, with the advisory saying it could possibly lead to arbitrary code execution), improper limits on DNS compression pointer hops and assembled name lengths (CVE-2026-69184), and failure to validate record count fields before memory allocation (CVE-2026-69186, affecting Ubuntu 24.04 and 26.04 only). A remote attacker could possibly trigger these issues by sending crafted DNS responses, leading to crashes or excessive resource use. Fixed package versions are stated as libcares2 1.34.6-1ubuntu0.2 for 26.04, libcares2 1.27.0-1.0ubuntu1.1 for 24.04, libc-ares2 1.18.1-1ubuntu0.22.04.4 for 22.04, libc-ares2 1.15.0-1ubuntu0.5+esm1 for 20.04, libc-ares2 1.14.0-1ubuntu0.2+esm3 for 18.04, and libc-ares2 1.10.0-3ubuntu0.2+esm4 for 16.04.

Executive summaryA flaw in poppler, a PDF rendering library used on Ubuntu systems, can cause a crash when a specially crafted or encrypted PDF is opened, which could lead to a denial of service. Ubuntu Security Notice USN-8950-1 covers releases 26.10, 26.04 LTS, 24.04 LTS, and 22.04 LTS. The vendor recommends applying the standard system update that contains the fixed poppler package versions. Technical summaryThe advisory describes a flaw where poppler incorrectly handled the password length limit when decrypting certain encrypted PDF files, which can cause a crash, classed by the advisory as a denial of service. An attacker would need to get a user or process to open a crafted PDF file; the advisory does not state any further preconditions. Fixed package versions are listed per release: libpoppler162 26.07.0-2ubuntu1.1 for 26.10, libpoppler156 26.01.0-2ubuntu0.3 for 26.04 LTS, libpoppler134 24.02.0-1ubuntu9.11 for 24.04 LTS, and libpoppler118 22.02.0-2ubuntu0.15 for 22.04 LTS.

USN-8930-2CVE-2026-74220CVE-2026-74221CVE-2026-74222CVE-2026-74225U-Boot vulnerabilities
Executive summaryCanonical's USN-8930-2 covers several security flaws in U-Boot, the boot loader used on embedded systems, for Ubuntu 26.10. The advisory says the flaws could allow denial of service and, in one case, possibly arbitrary code execution, and it recommends updating to the fixed package versions listed. The advisory does not state a severity rating. Technical summaryThe advisory describes improper handling of NFS READ and NFS READLINK responses that could cause a buffer overflow (CVE-2026-74220, CVE-2026-74221), which may lead to denial of service or arbitrary code execution. It also describes a use-after-free in the lwIP implementation triggered by HTTP data storage failures (CVE-2026-74222), and out-of-bounds memory access from improperly validated DHCPv6 option lengths during network boot (CVE-2026-74225). The advisory states the fixed package version as 2025.10-0ubuntu6 for u-boot-imx, u-boot-qemu, and u-boot-tools on 26.10. Attack preconditions, workarounds, and detection guidance are not stated.

USN-8949-1CVE-2026-101258CVE-2026-103226Ghostscript vulnerabilities
Executive summarySeveral security flaws were fixed in Ghostscript, a widely used tool for reading PostScript and PDF files, and Ubuntu has released updated packages for multiple Ubuntu versions. The advisory says an attacker could exploit these flaws if a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted file or document, and one flaw could potentially allow code execution after escaping the sandbox. The recommended action is to apply a standard system update that includes the fixed package versions listed in the advisory. Technical summaryThe advisory describes memory handling errors in Ghostscript when processing PostScript documents and converting certain fonts, plus improper validation of operands when loading fonts. One issue (CVE-2026-101258) could possibly let an attacker bypass the sandbox and execute arbitrary code, another (CVE-2026-103226) could cause a crash or possibly code execution, and a third has no CVE number listed. Exploitation requires that a user or automated system be tricked into processing a specially crafted file or document. Fixed package versions are given for libgs10 and libgs10-common on 26.10 and 26.04 LTS, libgs10 on 24.04 LTS, libgs9 and libgs9-common on 22.04, 20.04, 18.04 and 16.04 LTS, with the exact version strings as written in the advisory. The advisory does not state any workarounds, detection guidance, CVSS scores, or whether the issues are being exploited in the wild. Summaries are generated by AI from the linked advisory text.

Executive summaryUbuntu has released updates for PHP on older supported Ubuntu releases (14.04, 16.04, 18.04 and 20.04 LTS). The advisory says the flaws could let a remote attacker crash PHP or run programs through specially crafted network traffic, and it recommends updating PHP to the package versions listed. Technical summaryThe advisory describes two flaws: CVE-2026-109618, where PHP incorrectly handled out-of-memory conditions while processing requests, and CVE-2026-109619, where PHP incorrectly managed internal request state across worker reuse. Both are described as allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code, and the overview also mentions crashes. The advisory does not state any attack preconditions beyond specially crafted network traffic, nor any workarounds or detection guidance. Fixed package versions are given per release: php7.4 7.4.3-4ubuntu2.29+esm5 on 20.04 LTS, php7.2 7.2.24-0ubuntu0.18.04.17+esm14 on 18.04 LTS, php7.0 7.0.33-0ubuntu0.16.04.16+esm22 on 16.04 LTS, and php5 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.29+esm18 on 14.04 LTS. Ubuntu Pro is required for these fixes. The advisory does not state CVSS scores or whether exploitation has been observed. Summaries are generated by AI from the linked advisory text. Confirm versions and fixes at the source. Summarized from ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-8948-2 ScoreNo CVSS score published. Affects
