Typically 40-70% below the OEM maintenance renewal price. Exact pricing depends on quantity, service level and location — request a quote and we respond within 24 hours.
Known Vulnerabilities Affecting Ubuntu 5.04 'Hoary Hedgehog'
30 published CVEs affect the Ubuntu 5.04 'Hoary Hedgehog', including 15 rated critical or high severity. Ubuntu no longer ships security patches for this release — our engineers provide mitigation guidance, workarounds and hardening support.
| CVE | Severity | CVSS | Published | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2005-2700 | HIGH | 10.0 | Sep 6, 2005 | ssl_engine_kernel.c in mod_ssl before 2.8.24, when using "SSLVerifyClient optional" in the global virtual host configuration, does not properly enforce "SSLVerifyClient require" in a per-location context, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions. |
| CVE-2006-4482 | HIGH | 9.3 | Aug 31, 2006 | Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the (1) str_repeat and (2) wordwrap functions in ext/standard/string.c in PHP before 5.1.5, when used on a 64-bit system, have unspecified impact and attack vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-1990. |
| CVE-2006-1728 | HIGH | 9.3 | Apr 14, 2006 | Unspecified vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird 1.x before 1.5.0.2 and 1.0.x before 1.0.8, Mozilla Suite before 1.7.13, and SeaMonkey before 1.0.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors related to the crypto.generateCRMFRequest method. |
| CVE-2021-3493 | HIGH | 8.8 | Apr 17, 2021 | The overlayfs implementation in the linux kernel did not properly validate with respect to user namespaces the setting of file capabilities on files in an underlying file system. Due to the combination of unprivileged user namespaces along with a patch carried in the Ubuntu kernel to allow unprivileged overlay mounts, an attacker could use this to gain elevated privileges. |
| CVE-2021-3492 | HIGH | 8.8 | Apr 17, 2021 | Shiftfs, an out-of-tree stacking file system included in Ubuntu Linux kernels, did not properly handle faults occurring during copy_from_user() correctly. These could lead to either a double-free situation or memory not being freed at all. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (kernel memory exhaustion) or gain privileges via executing arbitrary code. AKA ZDI-CAN-13562. |
| CVE-2026-31431 | HIGH | 7.8 | Apr 22, 2026 | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: algif_aead - Revert to operating out-of-place This mostly reverts commit 72548b093ee3 except for the copying of the associated data. There is no benefit in operating in-place in algif_aead since the source and destination come from different mappings. Get rid of all the complexity added for in-place operation and just copy the AD directly. |
| CVE-2016-9950 | HIGH | 7.8 | Dec 17, 2016 | An issue was discovered in Apport before 2.20.4. There is a path traversal issue in the Apport crash file "Package" and "SourcePackage" fields. These fields are used to build a path to the package specific hook files in the /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/ directory. An attacker can exploit this path traversal to execute arbitrary Python files from the local system. |
| CVE-2016-9949 | HIGH | 7.8 | Dec 17, 2016 | An issue was discovered in Apport before 2.20.4. In apport/ui.py, Apport reads the CrashDB field and it then evaluates the field as Python code if it begins with a "{". This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Python code. |
| CVE-2015-1328 | HIGH | 7.8 | Nov 28, 2016 | The overlayfs implementation in the linux (aka Linux kernel) package before 3.19.0-21.21 in Ubuntu through 15.04 does not properly check permissions for file creation in the upper filesystem directory, which allows local users to obtain root access by leveraging a configuration in which overlayfs is permitted in an arbitrary mount namespace. |
| CVE-2006-3747 | HIGH | 7.6 | Jul 28, 2006 | Off-by-one error in the ldap scheme handling in the Rewrite module (mod_rewrite) in Apache 1.3 from 1.3.28, 2.0.46 and other versions before 2.0.59, and 2.2, when RewriteEngine is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted URLs that are not properly handled using certain rewrite rules. |
| CVE-2006-1727 | HIGH | 7.6 | Apr 14, 2006 | Unspecified vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird 1.x before 1.5.0.2 and 1.0.x before 1.0.8, Mozilla Suite before 1.7.13, and SeaMonkey before 1.0.1 allows remote attackers to gain chrome privileges via multiple attack vectors related to the use of XBL scripts with "Print Preview". |
| CVE-2006-4095 | HIGH | 7.5 | Sep 6, 2006 | BIND before 9.2.6-P1 and 9.3.x before 9.3.2-P1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via certain SIG queries, which cause an assertion failure when multiple RRsets are returned. |
| CVE-2006-2275 | HIGH | 7.5 | May 9, 2006 | Linux SCTP (lksctp) before 2.6.17 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (deadlock) via a large number of small messages to a receiver application that cannot process the messages quickly enough, which leads to "spillover of the receive buffer." |
| CVE-2005-4807 | HIGH | 7.5 | Dec 31, 2005 | Stack-based buffer overflow in the as_bad function in messages.c in the GNU as (gas) assembler in Free Software Foundation GNU Binutils before 20050721 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a .c file with crafted inline assembly code. |
| CVE-2005-2946 | HIGH | 7.5 | Sep 16, 2005 | The default configuration on OpenSSL before 0.9.8 uses MD5 for creating message digests instead of a more cryptographically strong algorithm, which makes it easier for remote attackers to forge certificates with a valid certificate authority signature. |
| CVE-2023-5536 | MEDIUM | 5.0 | Dec 12, 2023 | 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. |
| CVE-2006-2661 | MEDIUM | 5.0 | May 30, 2006 | ftutil.c in Freetype before 2.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted font file that triggers a null dereference. |
| CVE-2005-2970 | MEDIUM | 5.0 | Oct 25, 2005 | Memory leak in the worker MPM (worker.c) for Apache 2, in certain circumstances, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via aborted connections, which prevents the memory for the transaction pool from being reused for other connections. |
| CVE-2005-1527 | MEDIUM | 5.0 | Aug 15, 2005 | Eval injection vulnerability in awstats.pl in AWStats 6.4 and earlier, when a URLPlugin is enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Perl code via the HTTP Referrer, which is used in a $url parameter that is inserted into an eval function call. |
| CVE-2005-1260 | MEDIUM | 5.0 | May 19, 2005 | bzip2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (hard drive consumption) via a crafted bzip2 file that causes an infinite loop (a.k.a "decompression bomb"). |
