A type confusion vulnerability was found in OpenSSL when OpenSSL X.400 addresses processing inside an X.509 GeneralName. When CRL checking is enabled (for example, the application sets the X509VFLAGCRLCHECK flag), this vulnerability may allow an attacker to pass arbitrary pointers to a memcmp call, enabling them to read memory contents or cause a denial of service. In most cases, the attack requires the attacker to provide both the certificate chain and CRL, of which neither needs a valid signature. If the attacker only controls one of these inputs, the other input must already contain an X.400 address as a CRL distribution point, which is uncommon. In this case, this vulnerability is likely only to affect applications that have implemented their own functionality for retrieving CRLs over a network.
A use-after-free vulnerability was found in OpenSSL's BIOnewNDEF function. The public API function BIOnewNDEF is a helper function used for streaming ASN.1 data via a BIO. It is primarily used internally by OpenSSL to support the SMIME, CMS, and PKCS7 streaming capabilities, but it may also be called directly by end-user applications. The function receives a BIO from the caller, prepends a new BIOfasn1 filter BIO onto the front of it to form a BIO chain, and then returns the new head of the BIO chain to the caller. Under certain conditions. For example, if a CMS recipient public key is invalid, the new filter BIO is freed, and the function returns a NULL result indicating a failure. However, in this case, the BIO chain is not properly cleaned up, and the BIO passed by the caller still retains internal pointers to the previously freed filter BIO. If the caller then calls BIOpop() on the BIO, a use-after-free will occur, possibly resulting in a crash.
A flaw in XML parsing could have led to a use-after-free causing a potentially exploitable crash.In official releases of Firefox this vulnerability is mitigated by wasm sandboxing; versions managed by Linux distributions may have other settings.
Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the use of long exponents that arguably make certain calculations unnecessarily expensive. By sending specially-crafted network traffic, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernels with commit b6a2fea39318 ("mm: variable length argument support", from July 19, 2007) but without commit da029c11e6b1 ("exec:Limit arg stack to at most 75% of STKLIM", from July 7, 2017). An integer overflow in the Linux kernel's createelftables() function. A local attacker can exploit this vulnerability via a SUID-root binary and obtain full root privileges.

VMware Tools (12.0.0, 11.x.y and 10.x.y) contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability. A malicious actor with local non-administrative access to the Guest OS can escalate privileges as a root user in the virtual machine.
BIG-IP version 16.0.x before 16.0.1.2, 15.1.x before 15.1.3, 14.1.x before 14.1.4.2, 13.1.x before 13.1.4.1, and all versions of 12.1.x and 11.6.x and all versions of BIG-IQ 8.x, 7.x, and 6.x are vulnerable to cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks through iControl SOAP. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
On all 7.x and 6.x versions (fixed in 8.0.0), BIG-IQ high availability (HA) when using a Quorum device for automatic failover does not implement any form of authentication with the Corosync daemon. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Software Development (EoSD) are not evaluated.
On BIG-IP version 16.0.x before 16.0.1.1, 15.1.x before 15.1.2, 14.1.x before 14.1.3.1, and 13.1.x before 13.1.3.6 and all versions of BIG-IQ 7.x and 6.x, an authenticated attacker with access to iControl REST over the control plane may be able to take advantage of a race condition to execute commands with an elevated privilege level. This vulnerability is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-6167. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Software Development (EoSD) are not evaluated.
