Improper bounds checking of the obuf variable in the linkntoa() function in linkaddr.c of the BSD libc library may allow an attacker to read or write from memory. The full impact and severity depends on the method of exploit and how the library is used by applications. According to analysis by FreeBSD developers, it is very unlikely that applications exist that utilize linkntoa() in an exploitable manner, and the CERT/CC is not aware of any proof of concept. A blog post describes the functionality of linkntoa() and points out that none of the base utilities use this function in an exploitable manner.

The doedscript function in pch.c in GNU patch through 2.7.6, and patch in FreeBSD 10.1 before 10.1-RELEASE-p17, 10.2 before 10.2-BETA2-p3, 10.2-RC1 before 10.2-RC1-p2, and 0.2-RC2 before 10.2-RC2-p1, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted patch file, because a '!' character can be passed to the ed program.
Larry Wall's patch; patch in FreeBSD 10.2-RC1 before 10.2-RC1-p1, 10.2 before 10.2-BETA2-p2, and 10.1 before 10.1-RELEASE-p16; Bitrig; GNU patch before 2.2.5; and possibly other patch variants allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands via a crafted patch file.
Integer overflow in the gd2GetHeader function in gdgd2.c in the GD Graphics Library (aka libgd) before 2.2.3, as used in PHP before 5.5.37, 5.6.x before 5.6.23, and 7.x before 7.0.8, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted chunk dimensions in an image.
The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) module in FreeBSD 9.3 before p33, 10.1 before p26, and 10.2 before p9, when the kernel is configured for IPv6, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure or NULL pointer dereference and kernel panic) via a crafted ICMPv6 packet.
FreeBSD 9.3 before p33, 10.1 before p26, and 10.2 before p9 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via vectors related to creating a TCP connection with the TCPMD5SIG and TCPNOOPT socket options.
Integer signedness error in the genkbdcommonioctl function in sys/dev/kbd/kbd.c in FreeBSD 9.3 before p42, 10.1 before p34, 10.2 before p17, and 10.3 before p3 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory, cause a denial of service (memory overwrite and kernel crash), or gain privileges via a negative value in the flen structure member in the arg argument in a SETFKEY ioctl call, which triggers a "two way heap and stack overflow."
Integer signedness error in the sockargs function in sys/kern/uipcsyscalls.c in FreeBSD 10.1 before p34, 10.2 before p17, and 10.3 before p3 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory overwrite and kernel panic) or gain privileges via a negative buflen argument, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
The inet module in FreeBSD 10.2x before 10.2-PRERELEASE, 10.2-BETA2-p2, 10.2-RC1-p1, 10.1x before 10.1-RELEASE-p16, 9.x before 9.3-STABLE, 9.3-RELEASE-p21, and 8.x before 8.4-STABLE, 8.4-RELEASE-p35 on systems with VNET enabled and at least 16 VNET instances allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (mbuf consumption) via multiple concurrent TCP connections.
The routed daemon in FreeBSD 9.3 before 9.3-RELEASE-p22, 10.2-RC2 before 10.2-RC2-p1, 10.2-RC1 before 10.2-RC1-p2, 10.2 before 10.2-BETA2-p3, and 10.1 before 10.1-RELEASE-p17 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a query from a network that is not directly connected.
Integer signedness error in the amd64setldt function in sys/amd64/amd64/sysmachdep.c in FreeBSD 9.3 before p39, 10.1 before p31, and 10.2 before p14 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via an i386setldt system call, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
