FasterXML jackson-databind before 2.7.9.3, 2.8.x before 2.8.11.1 and 2.9.x before 2.9.5 allows unauthenticated remote code execution because of an incomplete fix for the CVE-2017-7525 deserialization flaw. This is exploitable by sending maliciously crafted JSON input to the readValue method of the ObjectMapper, bypassing a blacklist that is ineffective if the c3p0 libraries are available in the classpath.
Apache Tomcat versions 7.0.0 to 7.0.84, 8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.49 and 8.5.0 to 8.5.27 only apply security constraints defined by Servlets once those Servlets are loaded. Depending on the order that Servlets load, some security constraints may not be applied leading to unintended resource exposure.

Catastrophic backtracking vulnerability was found in Python. Exploitation of a regular expression in difflib.ISLINEJUNK method in servers that use difflib can lead to denial of service.

https://bugs.python.org/issue32981
Apache Tomcat versions 7.0.0 to 7.0.84, 8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.49 and 8.5.0 to 8.5.27 does not properly handle the URL empty string ("") when used as part of a security constraint definition. This can lead to the security constraint being ignored, leading to unitended exposure of resources.

FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.8 fails to block the openjpa class from polymorphic deserialization.
References: https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-databind/issues/2186 https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson/wiki/Jackson-Release-2.9.8

FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.7 might allow remote attackers to conduct server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks by leveraging failure to block the axis2-jaxws class from polymorphic deserialization.
FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.7 might allow attackers to conduct external XML entity (XXE) attacks by leveraging failure to block some JDK classes from polymorphic deserialization.

Upstream Patch: https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-databind/commit/87d29af25e82a249ea15858e2d4ecbf64091db44
An issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind prior to 2.7.9.4, 2.8.11.2, and 2.9.6. When Default Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property), the service has the Oracle JDBC jar in the classpath, and an attacker can provide an LDAP service to access, it is possible to make the service execute a malicious payload.
A vulnerability was found in systemd-resolved. This issue may allow systemd-resolved to accept records of DNSSEC-signed domains even when they have no signature, allowing man-in-the-middles (or the upstream DNS resolver) to manipulate records.
Buffer overflow vulnerabilities in functions pnggetPLTE/pngsetPLTE, allowing remote attackers to cause DoS to application or have unspecified other impact. These functions failed to check for an out-of-range palette when reading or writing PNG files with a bitdepth less than 8. Some applications might read the bit depth from the IHDR chunk and allocate memory for a 2^N entry palette, while libpng can return a palette with up to 256 entries even when the bit depth is less than 8.
Affected versions of libpng are before 1.0.64, 1.1.x and 1.2.x before 1.2.54, 1.3.x and 1.4.x before 1.4.17, 1.5.x before 1.5.24, and 1.6.x before 1.6.19.

CVE assignment:
http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2015/q4/264
A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's Netfilter subsystem in net/netfilter/nftablesapi.c. This flaw allows a local attacker with user access to cause a privilege escalation issue.
A flaw was found in the libxml2 library in functions used to manipulate the xmlBuf and the xmlBuffer types. A substantial input causes values to calculate buffer sizes to overflow, resulting in an out-of-bounds write.
In OpenLDAP 2.x before 2.5.12 and 2.6.x before 2.6.2, a SQL injection vulnerability exists in the experimental back-sql backend to slapd, via a SQL statement within an LDAP query. This can occur during an LDAP search operation when the search filter is processed, due to a lack of proper escaping.
A flaw was found in the SQL plugin shipped with Cyrus SASL. The vulnerability occurs due to failure to properly escape SQL input and leads to an improper input validation vulnerability. This flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands and the ability to change the passwords for other accounts allowing escalation of privileges.
Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.4 has a signed integer overflow in XMLGetBuffer, for configurations with a nonzero XMLCONTEXTBYTES.
A flaw was found in libxml2. A call to the xmlGetID function can return a pointer already freed when parsing an XML document with the XMLPARSEDTDVALID option and without the XMLPARSENOENT option, resulting in a use-after-free issue.
A flaw was found in hw. Incomplete cleanup of microarchitectural fill buffers on some Intel® Processors may allow an authenticated user to enable information disclosure via local access.
A flaw was found in hw. Incomplete cleanup in specific special register write operations for some Intel® Processors may allow an authenticated user to enable information disclosure via local access.
A flaw was found in hw. Incomplete cleanup of multi-core shared buffers for some Intel® Processors may allow an authenticated user to enable information disclosure via local access.
A flaw was found in OpenSSL. The crehash script does not properly sanitize shell meta-characters to prevent command injection. Some operating systems distribute this script in a manner where it is automatically executed. This flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the script on these operating systems.
A flaw was found in OpenSSL. It is possible to trigger an infinite loop by crafting a certificate that has invalid elliptic curve parameters. Since certificate parsing happens before verification of the certificate signature, any process that parses an externally supplied certificate may be subject to a denial of service attack.
GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library (GMP) through 6.2.1 has an mpz/inpraw.c integer overflow and resultant buffer overflow via crafted input, leading to a segmentation fault on 32-bit platforms.
The Key Distribution Center (KDC) in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before 1.18.5 and 1.19.x before 1.19.3 has a NULL pointer dereference in kdc/dotgsreq.c via a FAST inner body that lacks a server field.
GnuPG Libgcrypt could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by improper handling of ElGamal encryption. By using side-channel attack techniques against mpipowm, and the window size, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
An integer wraparound was discovered in glib due to passing a 64 bit sized value to function gmemdup() which accepts a 32 bits number as argument. An attacker may abuse this flaw when an application linked against the glib library uses gbytesnew() function or possibly other functions that use gmemdup() underneath and accept a 64 bits argument as size. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
An issue was discovered in GNOME GLib before 2.66.7 and 2.67.x before 2.67.4. If gbytearraynewtake() was called with a buffer of 4GB or more on a 64-bit platform, the length would be truncated modulo 232, causing unintended length truncation.
An issue was discovered in GNOME GLib before 2.66.8. When gfilereplace() is used with GFILECREATEREPLACEDESTINATION to replace a path that is a dangling symlink, it incorrectly also creates the target of the symlink as an empty file, which could conceivably have security relevance if the symlink is attacker-controlled. (If the path is a symlink to a file that already exists, then the contents of that file correctly remain unchanged.)
A flaw was found in curl. The flaw lies in how curl handles cached or pipelined responses that it receives from either a IMAP, POP3, SMTP or FTP server before the TLS upgrade using STARTTLS. In such a scenario curl even after upgrading to TLS would trust these cached responses treating them as valid and authenticated and use them. An attacker could potentially use this flaw to carry out a Man-In-The-Middle attack. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.
Python CPython could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a web cache poisoning flaw via urllib.parse.parseqsl and urllib.parse.parseqs. By sending a specially-crafted request parameter cloaking, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a difference in the interpretation of the request between the proxy and the server.
