Adobe Flash Player contains an unspecified vulnerability that allows remote attackers to execute code or cause denial-of-service (DoS).

Adobe Flash Player before 10.2.154.27 on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris and 10.2.156.12 and earlier on Android; Adobe AIR before 2.6.19140; and Authplay.dll (aka AuthPlayLib.bundle) in Adobe Reader 9.x before 9.4.4 and 10.x through 10.0.1 on Windows, Adobe Reader 9.x before 9.4.4 and 10.x before 10.0.3 on Mac OS X, and Adobe Acrobat 9.x before 9.4.4 and 10.x before 10.0.3 on Windows and Mac OS X allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via crafted Flash content; as demonstrated by a Microsoft Office document with an embedded .swf file that has a size inconsistency in a "group of included constants," object type confusion, ActionScript that adds custom functions to prototypes, and Date objects; and as exploited in the wild in April 2011.

Exim 4.72 and earlier allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging the ability of the exim user account to specify an alternate configuration file with a directive that contains arbitrary commands, as demonstrated by the spooldirectory directive.

Description of problem: The handling functions for sending and receiving messages, in rdspagecopyuser(), use the unchecked copyuserinatomic functions without any access checks on user-provided pointers. As a result, by passing a kernel address as an iovec base address in recvmsg-style calls, a local user can overwrite arbitrary kernel memory, which can easily be used to escalate privileges to root.

Introduced via 7875e18e (v2.6.30-rc1).

Use-after-free vulnerability in WebKit in Apple Safari before 4.0.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via an HTML document with improperly nested tags.

Description of problem: Discovered by Ben Hawkes, this patch adds a limit for nframes as the number of frames in TXSETUP and RXSETUP are derived from a single byte multiplex value by default. Use-cases that would require to send/filter more than 256 CAN frames should be implemented in userspace for complexity reasons anyway. Additionally the assignments of unsigned values from userspace to signed values in kernelspace and vice versa are fixed by using unsigned values in kernelspace consistently.

Description of problem: On parsing malformed X.25 facilities, decrementing the remaining length may cause it to underflow. Since the length is an unsigned integer, this will result in the loop continuing until the kernel crashes.

This patch adds checks to ensure decrementing the remaining length does not cause it to wrap around.

Statement:

This issue did not affect the versions of Linux kernel as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 5, 6 and Red Hat Enterprise MRG as they did not include support for CCITT X.25 Packet Layer.

Description of problem: sctppacketconfig() is called when getting the packet ready for appending of chunks. The function should not touch the current state, since it's possible to ping-pong between two transports when sending, and that can result packet corruption followed by skb overlfow crash.

Essentially, we are resetting the contents of the packet when it's not empty.

Description of problem: Kees found a flaw in the i915 GEM ioctl interface that does not check destination addresses during memory copies, allowing arbitrary memory writes into the kernel. The flaws are in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915gem.c in i915gempreadioctl() and i915gempwriteioctl(), which do no accessok() checks on args->dataptr. (Actually, there is one check path: i915gemgttpwritefast() does the check, but none of the other helpers do.).

The XSL stylesheet implementation in WebKit in Apple Safari before 4.0, iPhone OS 1.0 through 2.2.1, and iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 2.2.1 does not properly handle XML external entities, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a crafted DTD, as demonstrated by a file:///etc/passwd URL in an entity declaration, related to an "XXE attack."

Sebastian Krahmer reported that the udisks service (via D-BUS) could be used to load arbitrary Linux kernel modules. Since "mount -t $NAME" is called, this also triggers a "modprobe -q -- $NAME" which will load the Linux kernel module from /lib/modules/.

The upstream bug report is: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/showbug.cgi?id=32232 and no upstream fix has been made as of yet, although the upstream bug report has a few suggestions on how to correct this.

Double free vulnerability in libxml2 2.7.8 and other versions, as used in Google Chrome before 8.0.552.215 and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors related to XPath handling.

Google Chrome before 7.0.517.41 does not properly handle animated GIF images, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted image.

Sauli Pahlman of CERT-FI provided us with fuzzed PDF file which causes xpdf / poppler PDF parser to crash.

The crash is caused by an attempt to dereference uninitialized Gfx::parser pointer in Gfx::getPos(), which assumes parser is either NULL or valid Parser pointer.
