Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 26.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.2, Thunderbird before 24.2, and SeaMonkey before 2.23 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 PresShell::DispatchSynthMouseMove function in Mozilla Firefox before 26.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.2, Thunderbird before 24.2, and SeaMonkey before 2.23 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via vectors involving synthetic mouse movement, related to the RestyleManager::GetHoverGeneration function.

Use-after-free vulnerability in the nsNodeUtils::LastRelease function in the table-editing user interface in the editor component in Mozilla Firefox before 26.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.2, Thunderbird before 24.2, and SeaMonkey before 2.23 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by triggering improper garbage collection.

A flaw was found in the grub2-set-bootflag utility of grub2. A local attacker could run this utility under resource pressure (for example by setting RLIMIT), causing grub2 configuration files to be truncated and leaving the system unbootable on subsequent reboots.

A malformed query response received by a recursive server in response to a query of RTYPE ANY could trigger an assertion failure while named is attempting to add the RRs in the query response to the cache. While the combination of properties which triggers the assertion should not occur in normal traffic, it is potentially possible for the assertion to be triggered deliberately by an attacker sending a specially-constructed answer having the required properties, after having engineered a scenario whereby an ANY query is sent to the recursive server for the target QNAME. A recursive server will itself only send a query of type ANY if it receives a client query of type ANY for a QNAME for which it has no RRsets at all in cache, otherwise it will respond to the client with the the RRsets that it has available.

This vulnerability occurs during the processing of an answer packet received in response to a query. As a result, recursive servers are at the greatest risk; authoritative servers are at risk only to the extent that they perform a limited set of queries.

This description is borrowed from the upstream advisory.

A flaw was found in the way reference counting was handled in the Linux kernel's VFS subsystem when unmount on symlink was performed.

On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 an unprivileged local user could use this flaw to cause OOM conditions leading to denial of service or, potentially, trigger use-after-free error.

On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 a privileged local user with CAPSYSADMIN capability (also in a container) could use this flaw to cause OOM conditions leading to denial of service or, potentially, trigger use-after-free error.

Red Hat would like to thank Vasily Averin of Parallels for reporting this issue.

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) implementation handled simultaneous connections between the same hosts. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system.

A check for valid userspace memory was found missing in kvmsetmemoryregion() function. Because of that, memory regions pointing to kernel memory could be registered with KVM and later used when converting guest physical addresses to host virtual ones. Several call sites relied on the validation and were using read/write functions that were missing the accessok() check when accessing userspace memory.

A local unprivileged user on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 system could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system.

On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 EUS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 EUS the impact is limited to potential information leak only.

A local user on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 system able to write to /dev/kvm could possibly use this flaw to leak kernel memory.

This issue was discovered by Michael S. Tsirkin of Red Hat.

A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s mm/mremap memory address space accounting source code. This issue occurs due to a race condition between rmap walk and mremap, allowing a local user to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

In elfutils 0.175, a negative-sized memcpy is attempted in elfcvtnote in libelf/notexlate.h because of an incorrect overflow check. Crafted elf input causes a segmentation fault, leading to denial of service (program crash).

An issue was discovered in sd-bus in systemd 239. busprocessobject() in libsystemd/sd-bus/bus-objects.c allocates a variable-length stack buffer for temporarily storing the object path of incoming D-Bus messages. An unprivileged local user can exploit this by sending a specially crafted message to PID1, causing the stack pointer to jump over the stack guard pages into an unmapped memory region and trigger a denial of service (systemd PID1 crash and kernel panic).

Oracle Java SE 8u201 fixes an unspecified vulnerability in the Deployment component (CVE-2019-2449). Upstream has CVSS scored this issue as: 3.1/CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L
