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.
A denial of service vulnerability was found in rsyslog in the imptcp module. An attacker could send a specially crafted message to the imptcp socket, which would cause rsyslog to crash.
Due converting PIO to the new memory read/write api we no longer provide separate I/O region lenghts for read and write operations. As a result, reading from PIT Mode/Command register will end with accessing pit->channels with invalid index and potentially cause memory corruption and/or minor information leak.
A privileged guest user in a guest with QEMU PIT emulation enabled could potentially (tough unlikely) use this flaw to execute arbitrary code on the host with the privileges of the hosting QEMU process. (QEMU part of the vulnerability)
A privileged guest user in a guest could potentially (tough unlikely) use this flaw to execute arbitrary code on the host. (KVM part of the vulnerability)

Ceph monitors crash when an empty or malformed prefix is sent to moncommand by rados.py. Authenticated attacker can crash ceph monitors by sending specially crafted input to moncommand via rados.py.
A flaw was found in systemd-journald. An out-of-bounds read when parsing a crafted syslog message that could lead to information disclosure.
