NetApp OnCommand Balance before 4.2P2 contains a "default privileged account," which allows remote attackers to gain privileges via unspecified vectors.
Apache Struts Jakarta Multipart parser allows for malicious file upload using the Content-Type value, leading to remote code execution.
It was discovered that the RMI (Java Remote Method Invocation) server implementation in the JMX (Java Management Extensions) component of OpenJDK did not restrict which classes can be deserialized when deserializing authentication credentials. A remote unauthenticated attacker able to connect to a JMX port could possibly use this flaw trigger deserialization flaws.
A deserialization flaw was discovered in the jackson-databind in versions before 2.8.10 and 2.9.1, which could allow an unauthenticated user to perform code execution by sending the maliciously crafted input to the readValue method of the ObjectMapper. This issue extends the previous flaw CVE-2017-7525 by blacklisting more classes that could be used maliciously.
A deserialization flaw in jackson-databind was found allowing code execution when given maliocusly crafted input to readValue method of ObjectMapper.
An old inffast.c optimization turns out to not be optimal anymore with modern compilers, and furthermore was not compliant with the C standard, for which decrementing a pointer before its allocated memory is undefined.

The fix for this issue adds the following packages to the package.access security property, which defines the list of restricted internal packages not accessible to untrusted code:
com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.resolver.helpers. com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.resolver.readers.
It was discovered that the implementation of the TransformerException class in the JAXP component of OpenJDK failed to properly perform access control checks, related to handling of the DTM exceptions. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
Oracle Java SE 7u151 and 8u141 fixes an unspecified vulnerability in the JavaFX component (CVE-2017-10086). Upstream has CVSS scored this issue as: 9.6/CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H

It was discovered that the LambdaFormEditor class in the Libraries component of OpenJDK did not correctly perform bounds checks in the permuteArgumentsForm() function. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to corrupt JVM memory and cause it to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code, bypassing Java sandbox restrictions. The problem is triggered when using MethodHandle.permuteArguments().

It was discovered that the DCG (Distributed Garbage Collector) implementation in the RMI component of OpenJDK failed to correctly handle references. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of RMI registry or a Java RMI application.
Apache Struts 2.x before 2.3.29 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a "%{}" sequence in a tag attribute, aka forced double OGNL evaluation. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-0785.
An improper input sanitization flaw was found in the way JBoss Seam web application framework processed certain parametrized JBoss Expression Language expressions. A remote attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code via a URL, containing appended, specially-crafted expression language parameters, provided to certain applications based on the JBoss Seam framework. Note: A properly configured and enabled Java Security Manager would prevent exploitation of this flaw.
