Fixed bug (Use-after-free in exif parsing under memory sanitizer). (CVE-2019-11050)
Fixed bug (Buffer underflow in bcshiftaddsub). (CVE-2019-11046)
A vulnerability was found in PHP versions 7.2.x below 7.2.26, 7.3.x below 7.3.13 and 7.4.0, PHP DirectoryIterator class accepts filenames with embedded \0 byte and treats them as terminating at that byte. This could lead to security vulnerabilities, e.g. in applications checking paths that the code is allowed to access.

curl before version 7.61.1 is vulnerable to a buffer overrun in the NTLM authentication code. The internal function Curlntlmcoremknthash multiplies the length of the password by two (SUM) to figure out how large temporary storage area to allocate from the heap. The length value is then subsequently used to iterate over the password and generate output into the allocated storage buffer. On systems with a 32 bit sizet, the math to calculate SUM triggers an integer overflow when the password length exceeds 2GB (2^31 bytes). This integer overflow usually causes a very small buffer to actually get allocated instead of the intended very huge one, making the use of that buffer end up in a heap buffer overflow. (This bug is almost identical to CVE-2017-8816.)
A use-after-free vulnerability in libcurl was found. libcurl works with easy handles using the type 'CURL ' that are objects the application creates using curleasyinit(). They are the handles that are all each associated with a single transfer at a time. libcurl also has an internal struct that represents and holds most state that is related to a single connection. An easy handle can hold references to one or many such connection structs depending on the requested operations.
When using libcurl's multi interface, an application performs transfers by adding one or more easy handles to the multi handle and then it can drive all those transfers in parallel.
Due to a flaw, libcurl could leave a pointer to a freed connection struct dangling in an easy handle that was previously added to a multi handle when curlmulticleanup() is called with an easy handle still added to it. This does not seem to cause any notable harm if the handle is then closed properly.
However, if the easy handle would instead get used again with the easy interface and curleasyperform() to do another transfer, it would blindly use the connection struct pointer now pointing to freed memory.
An application could be made to allocate its own fake version of the connect struct, fill in some data and then have the curleasyperform() call do something that clearly was not intended by the original code.

It was reported that the Tomcat init script performed unsafe file handling, which could result in local privilege escalation.
Directory traversal vulnerability in RequestUtil.java in Apache Tomcat 6.x before 6.0.45, 7.x before 7.0.65, and 8.x before 8.0.27 allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended SecurityManager restrictions and list a parent directory via a /.. (slash dot dot) in a pathname used by a web application in a getResource, getResourceAsStream, or getResourcePaths call, as demonstrated by the $CATALINABASE/webapps directory.
A missing bounds check was found in the way OpenSSL handled TLS heartbeat extension packets. This flaw could be used to reveal up to 64k of memory from a connected client or server.
Only 1.0.1 releases of OpenSSL are affected including 1.0.1f (and 1.0.2 betas)
The following upstream commit introduced TLS/DTLS heatbeat support and also this issue:

Apache Commons HttpClient 3.x, as used in Amazon Flexible Payments Service (FPS) merchant Java SDK and other products, does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.
OpenStack Compute (Nova) Grizzly, Folsom (2012.2), and Essex (2012.1) allows remote authenticated users to gain access to a VM in opportunistic circumstances by using the VNC token for a deleted VM that was bound to the same VNC port.
A flaw was found in the bash functionality that evaluates specially formatted environment variables passed to it from another environment. An attacker could use this feature to override or bypass restrictions to the environment to execute shell commands before restrictions have been applied. Certain services and applications allow remote unauthenticated attackers to provide environment variables, allowing them to exploit this issue.

It was found that the raw midi kernel driver does not protect against concurrent access which leads to a double realloc (double free) in sndrawmidiinputparams() and sndrawmidioutputstatus() which are part of sndrawmidiioctl() handler in rawmidi.c file. A malicious local attacker could possibly use this for privilege escalation.
eap.c in pppd in ppp 2.4.2 through 2.4.8 has an rhostname buffer overflow in the eaprequest and eapresponse functions.

GNOME libxml2 is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error in xmlStringLenDecodeEntities in parser.c. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to enter into an infinite loop.
Fixed bug (Null Pointer Dereference in PHP Session Upload Progress). (CVE-2020-7062)
A vulnerability was found in PHP versions 7.2.x below 7.2.9, 7.3.x below 7.3.16 and 7.4.x below 7.4.4, while parsing EXIF data with exifreaddata() function, it is possible for malicious data to cause PHP to read one byte of uninitialized memory. This could potentially lead to information disclosure or crash.
A vulnerability was found in PHP versions 7.3.x below 7.3.16 and 7.4.x below 7.4.34, while using mbstrtolower() function with UTF-32LE encoding, certain invalid strings could cause PHP to overwrite stack-allocated buffer. This could lead to memory corruption, crashes and potentially code execution.
A vulnerability in the Data-Loss-Prevention (DLP) module in Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV) Software versions 0.102.1 and 0.102.0 could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to an out-of-bounds read affecting users that have enabled the optional DLP feature. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted email file to an affected device. An exploit could allow the attacker to cause the ClamAV scanning process crash, resulting in a denial of service condition.

A new domain bypass transient execution attack known as Special Register Buffer Data Sampling (SRBDS) has been found. This flaw allows data values from special internal registers to be leaked by an attacker able to execute code on any core of the CPU. An unprivileged, local attacker can use this flaw to infer values returned by affected instructions known to be commonly used during cryptographic operations that rely on uniqueness, secrecy, or both.
In the Linux kernel before 4.20.14, expanddownwards in mm/mmap.c lacks a check for the mmap minimum address, which makes it easier for attackers to exploit kernel NULL pointer dereferences on non-SMAP platforms. This is related to a capability check for the wrong task.
An Invalid Address dereference was discovered in TIFFWriteDirectoryTagTransferfunction in libtiff/tifdirwrite.c in LibTIFF 4.0.10, affecting the cpSeparateBufToContigBuf function in tiffcp.c. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial-of-service via a crafted tiff file. This is different from CVE-2018-12900.
An information leakage issue was found in the way Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor handled page fault exception while emulating instructions like VMXON, VMCLEAR, VMPTRLD, VMWRITE with memory address as an operand. It occurs if the operand is an mmio address, as the returned exception object holds uninitialised stack memory contents.
A guest user/process could use this flaw to leak host's stack memory contents to a guest.
It affects only Intel processors and only when nested virtualization is enabled.

A use after free issue was found in the way Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor implements its device control API. While creating a device via kvmioctlcreatedevice(), device holds a reference to a VM object, latter this reference is transferred to caller's file descriptor table. If such file descriptor was to be closed, reference count to the VM object could become zero, potentially leading to use-after-free issue latter.
A user/process could use this flaw to crash the guest VM resulting in DoS issue OR potentially gain privileged access to a system.

In PolicyKit (aka polkit) 0.115, the "start time" protection mechanism can be bypassed because fork() is not atomic, and therefore authorization decisions are improperly cached. This is related to lack of uid checking in polkitbackend/polkitbackendinteractiveauthority.c.
