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.
The certrevoke command in FreeIPA does not check for the "revoke certificate" permission, which allows remote authenticated users to revoke arbitrary certificates by leveraging the "retrieve certificate" permission.
Potential SQL injection in ORDER and GROUP statements of ZendDbSelect
Dominic Scheirlinck of VendHQ reports:
Many software projects and vendors have implemented support for the “Proxy” request header in their respective CGI implementations and languages by creating the “HTTPPROXY” environmental variable based on the header value. When this variable is used (in many cases automatically by various HTTP client libraries) any outgoing requests generated in turn from the attackers original request can be redirected to an attacker controlled proxy. This allows attackers to view potentially sensitive information, reply with malformed data, or to hold connections open causing a potential denial of service.
The PHP web framework contains will automatically populate the HTTPPROXY environmental variable with a user supplied "Proxy" header.
Buffer overflow in the calccoeff function in libass/assblur.c in libass before 0.13.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors.

The gitoidnfmt function in commit.c in libgit2 before 0.24.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a cat-file command with a crafted object file.
The checkallocations function in libass/assshaper.c in libass before 0.13.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory allocation failure) via unspecified vectors.
Heap-based buffer overflow in the parsepacket function in network.c in collectd before 5.4.3 and 5.x before 5.5.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted network packet.
Fixed bug (applied upstream patch for CVE-2016-1283).
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.

A use-after-free vulnerability in libcurl was found. libcurl works with easy handles using the type 'CURL ' that are objects the application creates using curleasyinit(). They are the handles that are all each associated with a single transfer at a time. libcurl also has an internal struct that represents and holds most state that is related to a single connection. An easy handle can hold references to one or many such connection structs depending on the requested operations.
When using libcurl's multi interface, an application performs transfers by adding one or more easy handles to the multi handle and then it can drive all those transfers in parallel.
Due to a flaw, libcurl could leave a pointer to a freed connection struct dangling in an easy handle that was previously added to a multi handle when curlmulticleanup() is called with an easy handle still added to it. This does not seem to cause any notable harm if the handle is then closed properly.
However, if the easy handle would instead get used again with the easy interface and curleasyperform() to do another transfer, it would blindly use the connection struct pointer now pointing to freed memory.
An application could be made to allocate its own fake version of the connect struct, fill in some data and then have the curleasyperform() call do something that clearly was not intended by the original code.

A race condition was found in the way Linux kernel's memory subsystem handled breakage of the read only private mappings COW situation on write access.
An unprivileged local user could use this flaw to gain write access to otherwise read only memory mappings and thus increase their privileges on the system.
Red Hat is aware of this issue and if you have questions about the affectedness of your system please contact Red Hat Support. For additional information see https://access.redhat.com/security/vulnerabilities/2706661
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.

The (1) order and (2) group methods in ZendDbSelect in the Zend Framework before 1.12.20 might allow remote attackers to conduct SQL injection attacks by leveraging failure to remove comments from an SQL statement before validation.
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.
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.

Buffer overflow in the afReadFrames function in audiofile (aka libaudiofile and Audio File Library) allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (program crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted audio file, as demonstrated by sixteen-stereo-to-eight-mono.c.
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.
