In the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK), the RDS module in UEK has two setsockopt(2) options, RDSCONNRESET and RDS6CONNRESET, that are not re-entrant. A malicious local user with CAPNETADMIN can use this to crash the kernel. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.5 (Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).

A bug that allows linux kernel lockdown to be trivially bypassed using IMA.

The code in UEK6 U3 was missing an appropiate file descriptor count to be missing. This resulted in a use count error that allowed a file descriptor to a socket to be closed and freed while it was still in use by another portion of the kernel. An attack with local access can operate on the socket, and cause a denial of service. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.5 (Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).

A flaw was found in kernel/debug/debugcore.c in the Linux kernel in the lockdown mode. In this flaw, an attacker with local access could trigger the debugger, bypass lockdown and write anonymously.

In this flaw, KGDB and KDB allow read and write access to kernel memory, and thus should not be allowed during lockdown. An attacker with access to a serial port could trigger the debugger and use it to bypass lockdown.

The readCodersInfo function in archivereadsupportformat7zip.c in libarchive before 3.2.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) via a crafted 7z file, related to the 7zfolder struct.

The certrevoke command in FreeIPA does not check for the "revoke certificate" permission, which allows remote authenticated users to revoke arbitrary certificates by leveraging the "retrieve certificate" permission.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the ClearKey Content Decryption Module (CDM) in the Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) API in Mozilla Firefox before 48.0 and Firefox ESR 45.x before 45.3 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by providing a malformed video and leveraging a Gecko Media Plugin (GMP) sandbox bypass.

It was found that a malicious guest user could submit more requests than the virtqueue size permits, resulting in a crash of the host QEMU process.

The guest could submit requests without bothering to wait for completion and is therefore not bound by virtqueue size. This requires reusing vring descriptors in more than one request, which is incorrect but possible. Processing a request allocates a VirtQueueElement and therefore causes unbounded memory allocation controlled by the guest.

Exit with an error if the guest provides more requests than the virtqueue size permits. This bounds memory allocation and makes the buggy guest visible to the user.

Integer overflow flaws were found in the way the Hotspot component of OpenJDK read bytecode from class files. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions.

It was discovered that the CORBA component of OpenJDK did not sufficiently restrict the use of custom ValueHandler when performing object deserialization. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions.

It was discovered that the JAXP component of OpenJDK did not place a limit on the number of entity replacements performed when parsing XML files. A specially crafted XML document could cause a Java application using JAXP to consume an excessive amount of memory and CPU time when parsed.

Updates correcting this issue address the problem by introducing a limit on the number of entity replacements that can be performed. The limit can be controlled using the jdk.xml.entityReplacementLimit system property.

It was discovered that the JAXP component of OpenJDK did not enforce the maximum XML name limit (jdk.xml.MaxXMLNameLimit) when parsing namespace URIs in XML files. A specially crafted XML document could cause a Java application using JAXP to consume an excessive amount of memory and CPU time when parsed.

Hanno Böck has disclosed another Undefined Behaviour (signed integer overflow) on oss-security:

Upstream ticket:

Upstream fix (released in libarchive-3.2.1):

https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/commit/3ad08e0

While the UB exists in 3.2.0, an earlier patch seems to mitigate against the issue:

https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/commit/e6c9668f

This function is called immediately after the overflow, and will immediately reject a negative skipsize with ARCHIVEFATAL, skipping all further processing.

Previous releases up to and including 3.1.2 (including 2.8.3, 2.8.4) do not include the mitigation and are thus likely vulnerable.

A specially crafted gzip file can cause libarchive to allocate memory without limit, eventually leading to a crash.

A local user can trigger a flaw in the Linux kernel's handling of key lookups in the keychain subsystem.

The keyrejectandlink() function contains an error in which a key-lookup can fail and in an attempt to cache the failed lookup may attempt to free memory which can still be in use.

This could crash the system or at worse free a memory block which would then be re-used by another kernel mechanism causing a user after free.

It was discovered that OpenSSL did not always use constant time operations when computing Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) signatures. A local attacker could possibly use this flaw to obtain a private DSA key belonging to another user or service running on the same system.

The EPHEMERAL coder in ImageMagick before 6.9.3-10 and 7.x before 7.0.1-1 allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary files via a crafted image.

The (1) HTTP and (2) FTP coders in ImageMagick before 6.9.3-10 and 7.x before 7.0.1-1 allow remote attackers to conduct server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks via a crafted image.

The following flaw was found in ntpd:

Using a crafted packet to create a peer association with hmode > 7 causes the MATCHASSOC() lookup to make an out-of-bounds reference.
