In cifs-utils through 6.14, a stack-based buffer overflow when parsing the mount.cifs ip= command-line argument could lead to local attackers gaining root privileges.

The keystone-json-assignment package in SUSE Openstack Cloud 8 before commit d7888c75505465490250c00cc0ef4bb1af662f9f every user listed in the /etc/keystone/user-project-map.json was assigned full "member" role access to every project. This allowed these users to access, modify, create and delete arbitrary resources, contrary to expectations.

A man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacker may be able to execute a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic when a connection uses an AES-CBC cipher and the server runs on an Intel CPU supporting AES-NI. This is a common configuration for TLS servers.

The OpenSSL project has labelled this vulnerability high severity.

Qemu emulator built with VGA emulation with VESA BIOS Extensions(VBE) support is vulnerable to an OOB r/w access issue. It could occur while doing VGA r/w operations via i/o port methods.

A privileged guest user could use this flaw to potentially execute arbitrary code, with privileges of the Qemu process on the host.

A stack-based buffer overflow was found in libresolv when invoked from nssdns, allowing specially crafted DNS responses to seize control of EIP in the DNS client.

The buffer overflow occurs in the functions senddg (send datagram) and sendvc (send TCP) for the NSS module libnssdns.so.2 when calling getaddrinfo with AFUNSPEC family, or in some cases AFINET6 family. The use of AFUNSPEC (or AFINET6 in some cases) triggers the low-level resolver code to send out two parallel queries for A and AAAA. A mismanagement of the buffers used for those queries could result in the response of a query writing beyond the alloca allocated buffer created by resnquery.
