The Samba vfsfruit module uses extended file attributes (EA, xattr) to provide "...enhanced compatibility with Apple SMB clients and interoperability with a Netatalk 3 AFP fileserver." Samba versions prior to 4.13.17, 4.14.12 and 4.15.5 with vfsfruit configured allow out-of-bounds heap read and write via specially crafted extended file attributes. A remote attacker with write access to extended file attributes can execute arbitrary code with the privileges of smbd, typically root.
A flaw was found in the way Samba maps domain users to local users. An authenticated attacker could use this flaw to cause possible privilege escalation.
A flaw was found in the way samba implemented SMB1 authentication. An attacker could use this flaw to retrieve the plaintext password sent over the wire even if Kerberos authentication was required.
A flaw was found in the way samba implemented an RPC endpoint emulating the Windows registry service API. An unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to create a new registry hive file anywhere they have unix permissions which could lead to creation of a new file in the Samba share. Versions before 4.8.11, 4.9.6 and 4.10.2 are vulnerable.
A vulnerability was discovered in vdsm, version 4.19 through 4.30.3 and 4.30.5 through 4.30.8. The systemdrun function exposed to the vdsm system user could be abused to execute arbitrary commands as root.
The Gluster file system through versions 4.1.4 and 3.1.2 is vulnerable to a denial of service attack via use of the 'GFXATTRIOSTATSDUMPKEY' xattr. A remote, authenticated attacker could exploit this by mounting a Gluster volume and repeatedly calling 'setxattr(2)' to trigger a state dump and create an arbitrary number of files in the server's runtime directory.
The Gluster file system through versions 4.1.4 and 3.12 is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow in the 'servergetspec' function via the 'gfgetspecreq' RPC message. A remote authenticated attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service or other potential unspecified impact.
The Gluster file system through versions 3.12 and 4.1.4 is vulnerable to a buffer overflow in the 'features/index' translator via the code handling the 'GFXATTRCLRLKCMD' xattr in the 'plgetxattr' function. A remote authenticated attacker could exploit this on a mounted volume to cause a denial of service.
The Gluster file system through version 4.1.4 is vulnerable to abuse of the 'features/index' translator. A remote attacker with access to mount volumes could exploit this via the 'GFXATTROPENTRYINKEY' xattrop to create arbitrary, empty files on the target server.
A flaw was found in RPC request using gfs3symlinkreq in glusterfs server which allows symlink destinations to point to file paths outside of the gluster volume. An authenticated attacker could use this flaw to create arbitrary symlinks pointing anywhere on the server and execute arbitrary code on glusterfs server nodes.
Tendrl API in Red Hat Gluster Storage before 3.4.0 does not immediately remove session tokens after a user logs out. Session tokens remain active for a few minutes allowing attackers to replay tokens acquired via sniffing/MITM attacks and authenticate as the target user.
A privilege escalation flaw was found in gluster 3.x snapshot scheduler. Any gluster client allowed to mount gluster volumes could also mount shared gluster storage volume and escalate privileges by scheduling malicious cronjob via symlink.
A flaw was found in the way swiftonfile (gluster-swift) serializes and stores metadata on disk by using Python's pickle module (https://docs.python.org/2/library/pickle.html). Exploiting this flaw causes remote code execution of arbitrary code on the storage node.
Description: A flaw was found in the metadata constraints in gluster-swift package. By adding metadata in several separate calls, a malicious user could bypass the maxmetacount constraint, and store more metadata than allowed by the configuration.

A type conversion flaw leading to an out-of-bounds heap buffer read was found in the way libpng, a library of functions for manipulation PNG image format files, performed expansion of certain iCCP, iTXt, and zTXt PNG image file chunks.
A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted Portable Network Graphics (PNG) image file, which once opened in an application, linked against libpng, could lead to denial of service or in some cases, execution of arbitrary code with permission of the user running such an application.
