USN-8024-1

Raffaele Bova discovered that Libwebsockets incorrectly handled memory when the upgrade header is not valid in the WebSocket server. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2025-11677)

Raffaele Bova discovered that Libwebsockets did not properly check the size of the destination buffer in the async-dns component. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause applications to crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2025-11678)
