An issue was discovered in JasPer 2.0.14. There is an access violation in the function jasimagereadcmpt in libjasper/base/jasimage.c, leading to a denial of service.

An issue was discovered in JasPer 2.0.14. There is a NULL pointer dereference in the function jp2decode in libjasper/jp2/jp2dec.c, leading to a denial of service.

An issue was discovered in libjpeg 9a and 9d. The allocsarray function in jmemmgr.c allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error) via a crafted file.

GNU ncurses could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a heap-based buffer over-read in the ncfindentry function in tinfo/comphash.c in the terminfo library. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted file, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.

GNU ncurses could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a heap-based buffer over-read in the fmtentry function in tinfo/comphash.c in the terminfo library. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted file, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.

It was discovered that there was a ECDSA timing attack in the libgcrypt20 cryptographic library. Version affected: 1.8.4-5, 1.7.6-2+deb9u3, and 1.6.3-2+deb8u4. Versions fixed: 1.8.5-2 and 1.6.3-2+deb8u7.

An issue was discovered in the server in OpenLDAP before 2.4.48. When the server administrator delegates rootDN (database admin) privileges for certain databases but wants to maintain isolation (e.g., for multi-tenant deployments), slapd does not properly stop a rootDN from requesting authorization as an identity from another database during a SASL bind or with a proxyAuthz (RFC 4370) control. (It is not a common configuration to deploy a system where the server administrator and a DB administrator enjoy different levels of trust.)

DISPUTED In Libgcrypt 1.8.4, the C implementation of AES is vulnerable to a flush-and-reload side-channel attack because physical addresses are available to other processes. (The C implementation is used on platforms where an assembly-language implementation is unavailable.) NOTE: the vendor's position is that the issue report cannot be validated because there is no description of an attack.

GNU Tar through 1.30, when --sparse is used, mishandles file shrinkage during read access, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (infinite read loop in sparsedumpregion in sparse.c) by modifying a file that is supposed to be archived by a different user's process (e.g., a system backup running as root).

For historic reasons, inetaddr and inetaton accept trailing garbage. Some parsers rely on this (for example, libresolv when it parses “nameserver” directives in /etc/resolv.conf).

This causes problems because some applications assume that a successful parse as an IPv4 address means that the string consists of just an IPv4 address, and nothing more.

Glibc should add a check for trailing garbage and relegate the old behavior to a compatibility symbol.

For backporting, glibc should just fix getaddrinfo (and related functions if necessary) so that they will not accept trailing garbage.

Additional note : When used in combination with flaw described in CVE-2016-5699, an attacker could direct an HTTP connection to a malicious server, using the following combined issues:

Python's httplib does not validate HTTP header values. A malicious 'Host' header with quoted new lines can inject additional headers and more glibc's getaddrinfo() ignores new lines and everything after a new line character when the first part looks like a IPv4 address

Double Free in VLC versions <= 3.0.6 leads to a crash.

docorenote in readelf.c in libmagic.a in file 5.35 has an out-of-bounds read because memcpy is misused.

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.1.8. There is a NULL pointer dereference caused by a malicious USB device in the drivers/usb/misc/sisusbvga/sisusb.c driver.

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel. The Zr364xx USB device driver is susceptible to malicious USB devices. An attacker able to add a specific USB device could cause a crash leading to a denial of service.

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.1.8. There is a NULL pointer dereference caused by a malicious USB device in the drivers/media/usb/siano/smsusb.c driver.

An issue was discovered in GNU libiberty, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.32. simpleobjectelfmatch in simple-object-elf.c does not check for a zero shstrndx value, leading to an integer overflow and resultant heap-based buffer overflow.

libarchive version commit 379867ecb330b3a952fb7bfa7bffb7bbd5547205 onwards (release v3.3.0 onwards) contains a CWE-476: NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in ACL parser - libarchive/archiveacl.c, archiveaclfromtextl() that can result in Crash/DoS. This attack appear to be exploitable via the victim must open a specially crafted archive file.

An input validation flaw was found in the URL class implementation in the Networking component of OpenJDK. A URL class instance could have been created for a URL string containing invalid characters not permitted in URLs.

It was discovered that the implementation of the Throwable class in the Utilities component of OpenJDK did not sufficiently validate serial stream before deserializing suppressed exceptions. A specially-crafted input could cause a Java application to construct inconsistent object and possibly use an excessive amount of system resources when deserialized.

It was discovered that the implementation of the Collections class in the Utilities component of OpenJDK did not limit the amount of memory allocated when creating object instance from a serialized form. A specially-crafted input could cause a Java application to use an excessive amount of memory when deserialized.

A vulnerability was found in OpenSSL 1.0.2. When an application encounters a fatal protocol error and then calls SSLshutdown() twice, OpenSSL can respond differently to the calling application if a 0 byte record is received with invalid padding compared to if a 0 byte record is received with an invalid MAC. This difference in behaviour can be detected by a remote peer, then this amounts to a padding oracle that could be used to decrypt data. In order for this to be exploitable "non-stitched" ciphersuites must be in use. Also the application must call SSLshutdown() twice even if a protocol error has occurred (applications should not do this but some do anyway). AEAD ciphersuites are not impacted. This issue does not impact OpenSSL 1.1.1 or 1.1.0.

A flaw was found in HTTP/2. An attacker, sending a stream of header with a 0-length header name and a 0-length header value, could cause some implementations to allocate memory for these headers and keep the allocations alive until the session dies. The can consume excess memory, potentially leading to a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

In the Linux kernel before 4.20.14, expanddownwards in mm/mmap.c lacks a check for the mmap minimum address, which makes it easier for attackers to exploit kernel NULL pointer dereferences on non-SMAP platforms. This is related to a capability check for the wrong task.

docorenote in readelf.c in libmagic.a in file 5.35 has a stack-based buffer over-read, related to fileprintable, a different vulnerability than CVE-2018-10360.

An Invalid Address dereference was discovered in TIFFWriteDirectoryTagTransferfunction in libtiff/tifdirwrite.c in LibTIFF 4.0.10, affecting the cpSeparateBufToContigBuf function in tiffcp.c. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial-of-service via a crafted tiff file. This is different from CVE-2018-12900.

A use-after-free vulnerability was discovered in the pngimagefree function in the libpng library. This could lead to denial of service or a potentially exploitable crash when a malformed image is processed.

kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel before 4.20.6 performs undesirable out-of-bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic in various cases, including cases of different branches with different state or limits to sanitize, leading to side-channel attacks.

An information leakage issue was found in the way Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor handled page fault exception while emulating instructions like VMXON, VMCLEAR, VMPTRLD, VMWRITE with memory address as an operand. It occurs if the operand is an mmio address, as the returned exception object holds uninitialised stack memory contents.

A guest user/process could use this flaw to leak host's stack memory contents to a guest.

It affects only Intel processors and only when nested virtualization is enabled.
