ntpd in NTP before 4.2.8p6 and 4.3.x before 4.3.90 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a ntpdc reslist command.

The exception handling code in Eclipse Jetty before 9.2.9.v20150224 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory via illegal characters in an HTTP header, aka JetLeak.

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel in function rdsincinfocopy of file net/rds/recv.c. The last field "flags" of object "minfo" is not initialized. Copying this object out may leak kernel stack data. Assign 0 to it to avoid leak.

The Verify function in crypto/dsa/dsa.go in Go before 1.5.4 and 1.6.x before 1.6.1 does not properly check parameters passed to the big integer library, which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted public key to a program that uses HTTPS client certificates or SSH server libraries.

Oracle MySQL before 5.7.3, Oracle MySQL Connector/C (aka libmysqlclient) before 6.1.3, and MariaDB before 5.5.44 use the --ssl option to mean that SSL is optional, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a cleartext-downgrade attack, aka a "BACKRONYM" attack.

A vulnerability was found in perl. The regex engine got into an infinite loop because of the malformation. It is trying to back-up over a sequence of UTF-8 continuation bytes. The character just before the sequence should be a start byte. If it's not, there is a malformation which results in "hang" of regexp matching and CPU exhaustion.

Heap-based buffer overflow in giffix.c in giffix in giflib 5.1.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (program crash) via crafted image and logical screen width fields in a GIF file.

A remote code execution vulnerability was found in Spring AMQP. The class org.springframework.core.serializer.DefaultDeserializer does not validate the deserialized object against a whitelist. By supplying a crafted serialized object like Chris Frohoff's Commons Collection gadget, remote code execution can be achieved.

The modtls module in ProFTPD before 1.3.5b and 1.3.6 before 1.3.6rc2 does not properly handle the TLSDHParamFile directive, which might cause a weaker than intended Diffie-Hellman (DH) key to be used and consequently allow attackers to have unspecified impact via unknown vectors.

A vulnerability in lxccontainer, ansible module, was found allowing to get root inside the container. The problem is in the createscript function, which tries to write to /opt/.lxc-attach-script inside of the container. If the attacker can write to /opt/.lxc-attach-script before that, he can overwrite arbitrary files or execute commands as root.

named in ISC BIND 9.x before 9.9.8-P4 and 9.10.x before 9.10.3-P4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a crafted signature record for a DNAME record, related to db.c and resolver.c.

named in ISC BIND 9.x before 9.9.8-P4 and 9.10.x before 9.10.3-P4 does not properly handle DNAME records when parsing fetch reply messages, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a malformed packet to the rndc (aka control channel) interface, related to alist.c and sexpr.c.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the searchpagination function in course/classes/managementrenderer.php in Moodle 2.8.x before 2.8.10, 2.9.x before 2.9.4, and 3.0.x before 3.0.2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted search string.

Moodle sensitive information disclosure

libraries/common.inc.php in phpMyAdmin 4.0.x before 4.0.10.13, 4.4.x before 4.4.15.3, and 4.5.x before 4.5.4 does not use a constant-time algorithm for comparing CSRF tokens, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by measuring time differences.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in phpMyAdmin 4.0.x before 4.0.10.13, 4.4.x before 4.4.15.3, and 4.5.x before 4.5.4 allow remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a (1) table name, (2) SET value, (3) search query, or (4) hostname in a Location header.

Fix defects in HTTP header parsing for requests and responses that can allow response splitting (CVE-2016-2216).

HTTP header parsing now aligns more closely with the HTTP spec including restricting the acceptable characters.

Introduce new --security-revert={cvenum} command line flag for selective reversion of specific CVE fixes allow the fix for CVE-2016-2216 to be selectively reverted using --security-revert=CVE-2016-2216.

Fix defects in HTTP header parsing for requests and responses that can allow request smuggling (CVE-2016-2086).

HTTP header parsing now aligns more closely with the HTTP spec including restricting the acceptable characters.

The verify function in the RSA package for Python (Python-RSA) before 3.3 allows attackers to spoof signatures with a small public exponent via crafted signature padding, aka a BERserk attack.

The VNC websocket frame decoder in QEMU allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption) via a large (1) websocket payload or (2) HTTP headers section.

Apache ActiveMQ 5.x before 5.13.0 does not restrict the classes that can be serialized in the broker, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted serialized Java Message Service (JMS) ObjectMessage object.

Fixed bug (applied upstream patch for CVE-2016-1283).

Mozilla Firefox before 43.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.5 allow remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via data: and view-source: URIs.

ssl/s3clnt.c in OpenSSL 1.0.0 before 1.0.0t, 1.0.1 before 1.0.1p, and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2d, when used for a multi-threaded client, writes the PSK identity hint to an incorrect data structure, which allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (race condition and double free) via a crafted ServerKeyExchange message.

A memory leak vulnerability was found in the way OpenSSL parsed PKCS#7 and CMS data. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause an application that parses PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources to use an excessive amount of memory and possibly crash.

It was discovered that PCRE before 8.38 mishandles the interaction of lookbehind assertions and mutually recursive subpatterns could provoke a buffer overflow, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted regular expression.

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.

Heap-based buffer overflow in PolarSSL 1.x before 1.2.17 and ARM mbed TLS (formerly PolarSSL) 1.3.x before 1.3.14 and 2.x before 2.1.2 allows remote SSL servers to cause a denial of service (client crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long hostname to the server name indication (SNI) extension, which is not properly handled when creating a ClientHello message. NOTE: this identifier has been SPLIT per ADT3 due to different affected version ranges. See CVE-2015-8036 for the session ticket issue that was introduced in 1.3.0.
