Unspecified vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit component in Oracle Java SE 5.0u75, 6u85, 7u72, and 8u25; Java SE Embedded 7u71 and 8u6; and JRockit R27.8.4 and R28.3.4 allows remote attackers to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Security.
bdf/bdflib.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 identifies property names by only verifying that an initial substring is present, which allows remote attackers to discover heap pointer values and bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted BDF font.
Heap-based buffer overflow in wpasupplicant 1.0 through 2.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash), read memory, or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted SSID information in a management frame when creating or updating P2P entries.
It was reported [1] that the Linux kernel suffered from a flaw when doing key garbage collection. The patch [1] describes the issue as:
""" When a key is being garbage collected, it's key->user would get put before the ->destroy() callback is called, where the key is removed from it's respective tracking structures.
This leaves a key hanging in a semi-invalid state which leaves a window open for a different task to try an access key->user. An example is findkeyringbyname() which would dereference key->user for a key that is in the process of being garbage collected (where key->user was freed but ->destroy() wasn't called yet - so it's still present in the linked list).
"""
An unprivileged local user could use this flaw to crash the system.

It was found that routing packets to too many different dsts/too fast can lead to a excessive resource consumption.
A remote attacker can use this flaw to crash the system.

The ADDW macro in stdio-common/vfscanf.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.21 does not properly consider data-type size during a risk-management decision for use of the alloca function, which might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation violation) or overwrite memory locations beyond the stack boundary via a long line containing wide characters that are improperly handled in a wscanf call.
unzip 6.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read or write and crash) via an extra field with an uncompressed size smaller than the compressed field size in a zip archive that advertises STORED method compression.
A flaw in libjpeg-turbo was reported [1],[2],[3] that could lead to a local denial of service when processing a specially-crafted JPEG issue.
One of the reports indicate that this only affects versions of libjpeg-turbo prior to 1.3.1 due to 1.3.1 rejecting the malformed image due to duplicate SOI markers.
Upstream has fixes for this issue [4],[5]. Also refer to the upstream bug [6].

Integer underflow in the xTrapezoidValid macro in render/picture.h in X.Org allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a negative bottom value.
nbd-server in Network Block Device (nbd) before 3.5 does not properly check IP addresses, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via an IP address that has a partial match in the authfile configuration file.

Martin Holst Swende discovered a flaw in the way modheaders handled chunked requests. A remote attacker could use this flaw to bypass intended modheaders restrictions, allowing them to send requests to applications that include headers that should have been removed by modheaders.
Discussion and a possible patch is available from the following thread:

The GIF decoder in QtGui in Qt before 5.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via invalid width and height values in a GIF image.
As per upstream samba advisory:
All versions of Samba from 3.5.0 to 4.2.0rc4 are vulnerable to an unexpected code execution vulnerability in the smbd file server daemon.
A malicious client could send packets that may set up the stack in such a way that the freeing of memory in a subsequent anonymous netlogon packet could allow execution of arbitrary code. This code would execute with root privileges.

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Crypto subsystem handled automatic loading of kernel modules. A local user could use this flaw to load any installed kernel module, and thus increase the attack surface of the running kernel.

It was reported [1] that iptables can allow protocols that do not have a protocol handler kernel module loaded.
Given following iptables ruleset: -P FORWARD DROP -A FORWARD -m sctp --dport 9 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -p tcp -m conntrack -m state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
One would assume that this allows SCTP on port 9 and TCP on port 80. Unfortunately, if the SCTP conntrack module is not loaded, this allows all SCTP communication to pass through, i.e. -p sctp -j ACCEPT

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's eCryptfs implementation decoded encrypted file names. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system.

Multiple off-by-one errors in the (1) MakeBigReq and (2) SetReqLen macros in include/X11/Xlibint.h in X11R6.x and libX11 before 1.6.0 allow remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted request, which triggers a buffer overflow.
Integer signedness error in the MacReadPOSTResource function in base/ftobjs.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted Mac font.
Multiple integer signedness errors in the pcfgetencodings function in pcf/pcfread.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow, NULL pointer dereference, and application crash) via a crafted PCF file that specifies negative values for the first column and first row.
Integer underflow in the cupsRasterReadPixels function in filter/raster.c in CUPS before 2.0.2 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a malformed compressed raster file, which triggers a buffer overflow.
sfnt/ttload.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 proceeds with offset+length calculations without restricting the values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and out-of-bounds read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted SFNT table.
