Marsh Ray of PhoneFactor has discovered a flaw in the TLS/SSL protocol related to the handling of the session rehandshakes / renegotiations. This flaw can possibly be used in the MITM attacks and allowing an attacker to inject attacker-chosen plain text prefix to the session of the victim.
Further details are available in the "Authentication Gap in TLS Renegotiation" blog post: http://extendedsubset.com/?p=8
Use-after-free vulnerability in WebKit in Apple Safari before 4.0.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via an HTML document with improperly nested tags.
Marc Schoenefeld found a flaw in the way OpenOffice.org 3.2.0 and earlier, enforced non-executable permission, when browsing macros, written in Python scripting language. If a local user was tricked into opening a specially-crafted OpenDocument Text (ODT) file, containing macros, and previewed the macro directories structure, it could lead to Python macro execution even when macros execution was disabled.
The pngdecompresschunk function in pngrutil.c in libpng 1.0.x before 1.0.53, 1.2.x before 1.2.43, and 1.4.x before 1.4.1 does not properly handle compressed ancillary-chunk data that has a disproportionately large uncompressed representation, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption, and application hang) via a crafted PNG file, as demonstrated by use of the deflate compression method on data composed of many occurrences of the same character, related to a "decompression bomb" attack.
The ipevictor function in ipfragment.c in libnids before 1.24, as used in dsniff and possibly other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) via crafted fragmented packets.
The kgacceptkrb5 function in krb5/acceptseccontext.c in the GSS-API library in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) through 1.7.1 and 1.8 before 1.8.2, as used in kadmind and other applications, does not properly check for invalid GSS-API tokens, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via an AP-REQ message in which the authenticator's checksum field is missing.
Description of problem: Discovered by Ben Hawkes, this patch adds a limit for nframes as the number of frames in TXSETUP and RXSETUP are derived from a single byte multiplex value by default. Use-cases that would require to send/filter more than 256 CAN frames should be implemented in userspace for complexity reasons anyway. Additionally the assignments of unsigned values from userspace to signed values in kernelspace and vice versa are fixed by using unsigned values in kernelspace consistently.

MySQL-GUI-tools (mysql-administrator) leaks passwords into process list after with launch of mysql text console
mysql-gui-tools (mysql-query-browser and mysql-admin) before 5.0r14+openSUSE-2.3 exposes the password of a user connected to the MySQL server in clear text form via the list of running processes.
Sauli Pahlman of CERT-FI provided us with fuzzed PDF file which causes xpdf / poppler PDF parser to crash.
The crash is caused by an attempt to dereference uninitialized Gfx::parser pointer in Gfx::getPos(), which assumes parser is either NULL or valid Parser pointer.

libpoe-component-irc-perl before v6.32 does not remove carriage returns and line feeds. This can be used to execute arbitrary IRC commands by passing an argument such as "some text\rQUIT" to the 'privmsg' handler, which would cause the client to disconnect from the server.
It is possible to cause a DoS condition by causing the server to crash in alien-arena 7.33 by supplying various invalid parameters to the download command.
Emmanuel Bouillon reported a memory corruption flaw in CUPS daemon. A specially-crafted IPP request can cause daemon to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.
