Double free vulnerability in the gnutlsx509extimportproxy function in GnuTLS before 3.3.26 and 3.5.x before 3.5.8 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via crafted policy language information in an X.509 certificate with a Proxy Certificate Information extension.
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 sshagentchanneldata function in PuTTY before 0.68 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a large length value in an agent protocol message and leveraging the ability to connect to the Unix-domain socket representing the forwarded agent connection, which trigger a buffer overflow.
Heap-based buffer overflow in dnsmasq before 2.78 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted DNS response.

libarchive. A buffer overflow issue was addressed through improved memory handling.

The transit path validation code in Heimdal before 7.3 might allow attackers to bypass the capath policy protection mechanism by leveraging failure to add the previous hop realm to the transit path of issued tickets.
A new exploitation technique called key reinstallation attacks used to break Wi-Fi handshakes that negotiate session keys was discovered. These attacks target the Wi-Fi/WPA2 standard. An adversary can trick a client or Access Point (AP) into reinstalling an already-in use pairwise key in 4-way handshake. While reinstalling the already in-use key, the associated packet number (sometimes also called nonce) and receive replay counter is reset. This causes nonce reuse, voiding any security the underlying encryption protocol is supposed to provide. For example, it allows decryption or injection of frames, and enables an attacker to replay frames.
The SuSEfirewall2 package before 3.6.312-2.13.1 in SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE) Desktop 12 SP2, Server 12 SP2, and Server for Raspberry Pi 12 SP2; before 3.6.312.333-3.10.1 in SLE Desktop 12 SP3 and Server 12 SP3; before 3.6SVNr208-2.18.3.1 in SLE Server 11 SP4; before 3.6.312-5.9.1 in openSUSE Leap 42.2; and before 3.6.312.333-7.1 in openSUSE Leap 42.3 might allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions on the portmap service by leveraging a missing source net restriction for rpc services.
parsetagx.c in w3m before 0.5.3+git20161009 does not properly initialize values, which allows remote attackers to crash the application via a crafted html file, related to a <i> tag.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the navpath function in lib/viewvc.py in ViewVC before 1.0.14 and 1.1.x before 1.1.26 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the navdata name.
An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of instructions (a commonly used performance optimization). There are three primary variants of the issue which differ in the way the speculative execution can be exploited.
Variant CVE-2017-5753 triggers the speculative execution by performing a bounds-check bypass. It relies on the presence of a precisely-defined instruction sequence in the privileged code as well as the fact that memory accesses may cause allocation into the microprocessor's data cache even for speculatively executed instructions that never actually commit (retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to cross the syscall boundary and read privileged memory by conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks.
