An out of bounds write flaw was discovered in the OpenSSL BNbn2dec() function. An attacker able to make an application using OpenSSL to process a large BIGNUM could cause the application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the mungeotherline function in cachemgr.cgi in the squid package before 3.1.23-16.el68.6 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2016-4051.

Last updated 24 July 2024

It was discovered that the filterReturnValue() method of the MethodHandles in the Libraries component of OpenJDK did not properly check filter MethodHandle parameter count. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.

It was discovered that the Hotspot component of OpenJDK did not properly restrict access to the invokeBasic() method of the MethodHandle class. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.

A flaw was found in the way the dropArguments() method of the MethodHandles class in the Libraries component of OpenJDK handled its valueTypes argument. As it did not create a copy of the list, caller could modify it after it was checked by the dropArguments() method. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.

It was discovered that the bytecode verifier in the Hotspot component of OpenJDK did not properly verify correctness of the bytecode in the loaded class files. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.

All existing releases of GraphicsMagick and ImageMagick support a file open syntax where if the first character of the file specification is a '|', then the remainder of the filename is passed to the shell for execution using the POSIX popen(3C) function. File opening is handled by an OpenBlob() function in the source file blob.c. Unlike the vulnerability described by CVE-2016-3714, this functionality is supported by the core file opening function rather than a delegates subsystem usually used to execute external programs.

Integer overflow in the ftpgenlist function in ext/ftp/ftp.c in PHP before 5.4.42, 5.5.x before 5.5.26, and 5.6.x before 5.6.10 allows remote FTP servers to execute arbitrary code via a long reply to a LIST command, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-4022.

A common idiom in the codebase is:

if (p + len > limit) { return; / Too long / }

where p points to some malloc'd data of SIZE bytes and limit == p + SIZE. 'len' could be from some externally supplied data, e.g. TLS message. This idiom is vulnerable to integer overflow vulnerability.

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.

Use-after-free vulnerability in the mozilla::DataChannelConnection::Close function in Mozilla Firefox before 45.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging mishandling of WebRTC data-channel connections.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the graphite2::Slot::setAttr function in Graphite 2 before 1.3.6, as used in Mozilla Firefox before 45.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.7, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted Graphite smart font.

The graphite2::TtfUtil::CmapSubtable12NextCodepoint function in Graphite 2 before 1.3.6, as used in Mozilla Firefox before 45.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.7, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted Graphite smart font.

Buffer overflow in the BufferSubData function in Mozilla Firefox before 44.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted WebGL content.

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 44.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.6 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.

It was discovered that OpenSSH client did not correctly handle situations when untrusted X11 forwarding was requested and generation of the untrusted authentication cookie failed. The ssh client continued by generating fake authentication cookie and allowed remote X clients to connect the local X server. The decision if client connection was accepted was delegated to the X server which, depending on its configuration, could allow clients to open trusted X connection. This would lead to remote X clients having more privileged access to the local X server than intended.

This problem can occur when X server does not include or enable X Security extension (for X.org X server, this extension is not compiled in by default since 2007) and when it has authentication methods besides MIT cookies enabled (e.g. localuser authentication allowing all X connections from a local user who owns the X session).

Both of these conditions are satisfied on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and current Fedora versions. The X server does not have X Security extension compiled in and 'xhost +si:localuser:id -un' is run from the xinit scripts. Therefore remote X clients are granted trusted access to the local X server when 'ssh -X' is used, as if 'ssh -Y' was actually used.

The X server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 includes X Security extension (as of RHSA-2013:1620 - http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013-1620.html - which was released as part of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5) and hence does not fall back to the use of fake authentication cookie.

Buffer overflow in the pcnetreceive function in hw/net/pcnet.c in QEMU, when a guest NIC has a larger MTU, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) or execute arbitrary code via a large packet.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the PackBitsPreEncode function in tifpackbits.c in bmp2tiff in libtiff 4.0.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via a large width field in a BMP image.

It was discovered that PCRE before 8.38 mishandles the interaction of lookbehind assertions and mutually recursive subpatterns could provoke a buffer overflow, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted regular expression.

It was discovered that pcrecompile function in pcrecompile.c in PCRE before 8.38 mishandles certain [: nesting, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted regular expression.

The C+ mode offload emulation in the RTL8139 network card device model in QEMU, as used in Xen 4.5.x and earlier, allows remote attackers to read process heap memory via unspecified vectors.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the unhtmlify function in foomatic-rip in foomatic-filters before 4.0.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long job title.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the nsshostnamedigitsdots function in glibc 2.2, and other 2.x versions before 2.18, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to the (1) gethostbyname or (2) gethostbyname2 function, aka "GHOST."

GNU Bash through 4.3 bash43-025 processes trailing strings after certain malformed function definitions in the values of environment variables, which allows remote attackers to write to files or possibly have unknown other impact via a crafted environment, as demonstrated by vectors involving the ForceCommand feature in OpenSSH sshd, the modcgi and modcgid modules in the Apache HTTP Server, scripts executed by unspecified DHCP clients, and other situations in which setting the environment occurs across a privilege boundary from Bash execution. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-6271.

A flaw was found in the bash functionality that evaluates specially formatted environment variables passed to it from another environment. An attacker could use this feature to override or bypass restrictions to the environment to execute shell commands before restrictions have been applied. Certain services and applications allow remote unauthenticated attackers to provide environment variables, allowing them to exploit this issue.
