An improper input sanitization flaw was found in the way JBoss Seam web application framework processed certain parametrized JBoss Expression Language expressions. A remote attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code via a URL, containing appended, specially-crafted expression language parameters, provided to certain applications based on the JBoss Seam framework. Note: A properly configured and enabled Java Security Manager would prevent exploitation of this flaw.

It was found that OpenSSL was vulnerable to a SSL/TLS MITM vulnerability. An attacker using a carefully crafted handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL SSL/TLS clients and servers. This can be exploited by a Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack where the attacker can decrypt and modify traffic from the attacked client and server.
As per the upstream advisory:
The attack can only be performed between a vulnerable client and server. OpenSSL clients are vulnerable in all versions of OpenSSL. Servers are only known to be vulnerable in OpenSSL 1.0.1 and 1.0.2-beta1. Users of OpenSSL servers earlier than 1.0.1 are advised to upgrade as a precaution.
OpenSSL 0.9.8 SSL/TLS users (client and/or server) should upgrade to 0.9.8za. OpenSSL 1.0.0 SSL/TLS users (client and/or server) should upgrade to 1.0.0m. OpenSSL 1.0.1 SSL/TLS users (client and/or server) should upgrade to 1.0.1h.

(Internal git) Commit c31d1f3f363a5c3b6dbd4d6daa36fa0f4273e948 "a64: fix deadlock in ia64 sysptrace" moved ptracecheckattach() from findthreadforaddr() to tasklist-is-not-held area. However it introduced other problems.
In the likely case, when rbschild == child, ptracecheckattach() is never called. Otherwise we do ptracecheckattach(rbschild) twice. This means that any peek/poke request can silently fail and fool the tracer.
With this patch the logic is ptracecheckattach(child);
if (rbschild != child) { // we should use rbschild ... if (!ptracecheckattach(rbschild)) child = rbschild;
// but if checkattach() fails we continue to // use child, we are doing as well as we can. }
To simplify the error-handling and the logic, this patch changes the code to detect the likely rbschild == child case earlier, right after findthreadforaddr().
This only affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
The clipmkip function in net/atm/clip.c of the ATM subsystem in Linux kernel allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via unknown vectors that cause the ATM subsystem to access the memory of socket buffers after they are freed (freed pointer dereference).

for issue description: ====================== When starting a program via "su - user -c program" the user session can escape to the parent session by using the TIOCSTI ioctl to push characters into the input buffer. This allows for example a non-root session to push "chmod 666 /etc/shadow" or similarly bad commands into the input buffer such that after the end of the session they are executed.

Sun Sun Ray Server Software 3.1 through 4.0 does not properly restrict access, which allows remote attackers to discover the Sun Ray administration password, and obtain admin access to the Data Store and Administration GUI, via unspecified vectors.
Sun Sun Ray Server Software 3.x and 4.0 and Sun Ray Windows Connector 1.1 and 2.0 expose the LDAP password during a configuration step, which allows local users to discover the Sun Ray administration password, and obtain admin access to the Data Store and Administration GUI, via unspecified vectors related to the utconfig component of the Server Software and the uttscadm component of the Windows Connector.
