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 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.

Red Hat would like to thank Stephane Chazelas for reporting this issue.
eap.c in pppd in ppp 2.4.2 through 2.4.8 has an rhostname buffer overflow in the eaprequest and eapresponse functions.
A flaw was discovered in python-pillow does where it does not properly restrict operations within the bounds of a memory buffer when decoding PCX images. An application that uses python-pillow to decode untrusted images may be vulnerable to this flaw, which can allow an attacker to crash the application or potentially execute code on the system.
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when an attacker establishes a vulnerable Netlogon secure channel connection to a domain controller, using the Netlogon Remote Protocol (MS-NRPC), aka 'Netlogon Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability'.

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's generic WiFi ESSID handling implementation. The flaw allows a system to join a wireless network where the ESSID is longer than the maximum length of 32 characters, which can cause the system to crash or execute code.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Marvell wifi chip driver. A heap overflow in mwifiexprocesstdlsactionframe function in marvell/mwifiex/tdls.c allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service(system crash) or execute arbitrary code. the station receive a tdls setup request or respone frame which the EIDSUPPRATES IE 's length is larger than 32 will cause Heap Overflow.
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel, version kernel-2.6.32, in Marvell WiFi chip driver. A remote attacker could cause a denial of service (system crash) or, possibly execute arbitrary code, when the lbsibssjoinexisting function is called after a STA connects to an AP.
A stack-based buffer overflow was found in the Linux kernel, version kernel-2.6.32, in Marvell WiFi chip driver. An attacker is able to cause a denial of service (system crash) or, possibly execute arbitrary code, when a STA works in IBSS mode (allows connecting stations together without the use of an AP) and connects to another STA.
A heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in the Linux kernel, all versions 3.x.x and 4.x.x before 4.18.0, in Marvell WiFi chip driver. The flaw could occur when the station attempts a connection negotiation during the handling of the remote devices country settings. This could allow the remote device to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
apachemodphp. Multiple issues were addressed by updating to PHP version 7.3.11.
Fixed bug (Heap-buffer-overflow in estrndup via exifprocessIFDTAG) (CVE-2019-11036).
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A heap based buffer overflow in mwifiexuapparsetailies function in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/ie.c might lead to memory corruption and possibly other consequences.
Dir.open, Dir.new, Dir.entries and Dir.empty? accept the path of the target directory as their parameter. If the parameter contains NUL (\0) bytes, these methods recognize that the path is completed before the NUL bytes. So, if a script accepts an external input as the argument of these methods, the attacker can make the unintentional directory traversal.
Affected versions:
Ruby 2.2 series: 2.2.9 and earlier Ruby 2.3 series: 2.3.6 and earlier Ruby 2.4 series: 2.4.3 and earlier Ruby 2.5 series: 2.5.0 and earlier

In Apache Batik 1.x before 1.10, when deserializing subclass of AbstractDocument, the class takes a string from the inputStream as the class name which then use it to call the no-arg constructor of the class. Fix was to check the class type before calling newInstance in deserialization.
apachemodphp. This issue was addressed by updating to php version 7.1.16.
An issue was discovered in LibVNCServer through 0.9.11. rfbProcessClientNormalMessage() in rfbserver.c does not sanitize msg.cct.length, leading to access to uninitialized and potentially sensitive data or possibly unspecified other impact (e.g., an integer overflow) via specially crafted VNC packets.
Buffer overflow in the decodearr function in ntpq in ntp 4.2.8p6 through 4.2.8p10 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging an ntpq query and sending a response with a crafted array.
An issue was discovered in Irssi before 1.0.7 and 1.1.x before 1.1.1. There is a use-after-free when SASL messages are received in an unexpected order.
An issue was discovered in Irssi before 1.0.7 and 1.1.x before 1.1.1. There is a use-after-free when a server is disconnected during netsplits. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-7191.
A flaw was found in libreoffice. Arbitrary remote file disclosure may be achieved by the use of the WEBSERVICE formula in a specially crafted ODS file.
An issue was discovered in the base64d function in the SMTP listener in Exim before 4.90.1. By sending a handcrafted message, a buffer overflow may happen. This can be used to execute code remotely.
