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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

This issue was corrected upstream in version 7.1p2:

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.
