A flaw was found in Apache tomcat. When the default servlet returned a redirect to a directory (e.g. redirecting to /foo/ when the user requested /foo) a specially crafted URL could be used to cause the redirect to be generated to any URI of the attackers choice.

A flaw has been identified in glibc. In an extremely rare situation, the getaddrinfo function may access memory that has been freed, resulting in an application crash. This issue is only exploitable when a NSS module implements only the nssgethostbyname2r and nssgetcanonnamer hooks without implementing the nssgethostbyname3r hook. The resolved name should return a large number of IPv6 and IPv4, and the call to the getaddrinfo function should have the AFINET6 address family with AICANONNAME, AIALL and AIV4MAPPED as flags.
A flaw was found in glibc. When the getaddrinfo function is called with the AFUNSPEC address family and the system is configured with no-aaaa mode via /etc/resolv.conf, a DNS response via TCP larger than 2048 bytes can potentially disclose stack contents through the function returned address data, and may cause a crash.
An attacker able to send and receive messages to an authoritative DNS server may be able to circumvent TSIG authentication of AXFR requests via a carefully constructed request packet. A server that relies solely on TSIG keys for protection with no other ACL protection could be manipulated into:
providing an AXFR of a zone to an unauthorized recipient accepting bogus Notify packets
An unauthorized AXFR (full zone transfer) permits an attacker to view the entire contents of a zone. Protection of zone contents is often a commercial or business requirement.
If accepted, a Notify sets the zone refresh interval to 'now'. If there is not already a refresh cycle in progress then named will initiate one by asking for the SOA RR from its list of masters. If there is already a refresh cycle in progress, then named will queue the new refresh request. If there is already a queued refresh request, the new Notify will be discarded. Bogus notifications can't be used to force a zone transfer from a malicious server, but could trigger a high rate of zone refresh cycles.
Workarounds:
The effects of this vulnerability can be mitigated by using Access Control Lists (ACLs) that require both address range validation and use of TSIG authentication in parallel. For information on how to configure this type of compound authentication control, please see:
https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-00723/0/Using-Access-Control-Lists-ACLs-with-both-addresses-and-keys.html.
(Note that this technique will not be effective against bogus Notify packets if an attacker is able to reach the target DNS server whilst using a spoofed sending address).

A memory disclosure vulnerability was found in PostgreSQL that allows remote users to access sensitive information by exploiting certain aggregate function calls with 'unknown'-type arguments. Handling 'unknown'-type values from string literals without type designation can disclose bytes, potentially revealing notable and confidential information. This issue exists due to excessive data output in aggregate function calls, enabling remote users to read some portion of system memory.
A heap overflow flaw was found in 389-ds-base. This issue leads to a denial of service when writing a value larger than 256 chars in logentryattr.
A vulnerability was found in OpenSC where PKCS#1 encryption padding removal is not implemented as side-channel resistant. This issue may result in the potential leak of private data.
It was discovered that the Kerberos implementation in the Security component of OpenJDK used RSA-MD5 checksum in Ticket Granting Service (TGS) requests even though MD5 algorithm is no longer considered safe for such use case. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to manipulate TGS requests.
A flaw was found in the URL class implementation in the Networking component of OpenJDK. An incorrect check to determine if a URLStreamHandler is builtin or not can lead to incorrect URL normalization in certain cases.
An information leakage issue was found in the way Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor handled page fault exception while emulating instructions like VMXON, VMCLEAR, VMPTRLD, VMWRITE with memory address as an operand. It occurs if the operand is an mmio address, as the returned exception object holds uninitialised stack memory contents.
A guest user/process could use this flaw to leak host's stack memory contents to a guest.
It affects only Intel processors and only when nested virtualization is enabled.

In PolicyKit (aka polkit) 0.115, the "start time" protection mechanism can be bypassed because fork() is not atomic, and therefore authorization decisions are improperly cached. This is related to lack of uid checking in polkitbackend/polkitbackendinteractiveauthority.c.
An issue was discovered in OpenSSH 7.9. Due to missing character encoding in the progress display, a malicious server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker) can employ crafted object names to manipulate the client output, e.g., by using ANSI control codes to hide additional files being transferred. This affects refreshprogressmeter() in progressmeter.c.
An issue was discovered in OpenSSH 7.9. Due to the scp implementation being derived from 1983 rcp, the server chooses which files/directories are sent to the client. However, the scp client only performs cursory validation of the object name returned (only directory traversal attacks are prevented). A malicious scp server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker) can overwrite arbitrary files in the scp client target directory. If recursive operation (-r) is performed, the server can manipulate subdirectories as well (for example, to overwrite the .ssh/authorizedkeys file).
A flaw was found in the way KVM hypervisor handled x2APIC Machine Specific Rregister(MSR) access with nested(=1) virtualization enabled. In that, L1 guest could access L0's APIC register values via L2 guest, when 'virtualize x2APIC mode' is enabled.
A guest could use this flaw to potentially crash the host kernel resulting in DoS issue.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol (L2CAP), part of the Bluetooth stack. An attacker, within the range of standard Bluetooth transmissions, can create and send a specially crafted packet. The response to this specially crafted packet can contain part of the kernel stack which can be used in a further attack.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of logical link control and adaptation protocol (L2CAP), part of the Bluetooth stack in the l2capparseconfrsp and l2capparseconfreq functions. An attacker with physical access within the range of standard Bluetooth transmission can create a specially crafted packet. The response to this specially crafted packet can contain part of the kernel stack which can be used in a further attack.
A Spectre gadget was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of system interrupts. An attacker with local access could use this information to reveal private data through a Spectre like side channel.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of ext4 extent management. The kernel doesn't correctly initialize memory regions in the extent tree block which may be exported to a local user to obtain sensitive information by reading empty/uninitialized data from the filesystem.
A flaw was found in the implementation of Intel Transactional Synchronization Extensions (TSX) abortion where a local authenticated attacker with the ability to monitor execution time is able to infer TSX memory state by comparing abort execution times.
This could allow information disclosure via this observed sidechannel for any TSX transaction being executed while an attacker is able to observe abort timing.

An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of Load & Store instructions (a commonly used performance optimization).
It relies on the presence of a precisely-defined instruction sequence in the privileged code as well as the fact that memory read from address to which a recent memory write has occurred may see an older value and subsequently cause an update into the microprocessor's data cache even for speculatively executed instructions that never actually commit (retire).
As a result, an unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to read privileged memory by conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks.
In OpenSSH 7.9, scp.c in the scp client allows remote SSH servers to bypass intended access restrictions via the filename of . or an empty filename.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel with files on tmpfs and hugetlbfs. An attacker is able to bypass file permissions on filesystems mounted with tmpfs/hugetlbs to modify a file and possibly disrupt normal system behaviour.
At this time there is an understanding there is no crash or priviledge escalation but the impact of modifications on these filesystems of files in production systems may have adverse affects.
