A flaw was found in multiple versions of Open vSwitch. Specially crafted LLDP packets can cause memory to be lost when allocating data to handle specific optional TLVs, potentially causing a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

An out-of-bounds heap buffer access flaw was found in the way the iSCSI Block driver in QEMU handled a response coming from an iSCSI server while checking the status of a Logical Address Block (LBA) in an iscsicoblockstatus() routine. A remote user could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process, resulting in a denial of service or potential execution of arbitrary code with privileges of the QEMU process on the host.

An issue was discovered in Open vSwitch (OvS) 2.7.x through 2.7.6, affecting ofprotoruleinsert in ofproto/ofproto.c. During bundle commit, flows that are added in a bundle are applied to ofproto in order. If a flow cannot be added (e.g., the flow action is a go-to for a group id that does not exist), OvS tries to revert back all previous flows that were successfully applied from the same bundle. This is possible since OvS maintains list of old flows that were replaced by flows from the bundle. While reinserting old flows, OvS has an assertion failure due to a check on rule state != RULEINITIALIZED. This would work for new flows, but for an old flow the rule state is RULEREMOVED. The assertion failure causes an OvS crash.

A stack-buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the Redis hyperloglog data structure versions 3.x before 3.2.13, 4.x before 4.0.14 and 5.x before 5.0.4. By corrupting a hyperloglog using the SETRANGE command, an attacker could cause Redis to perform controlled increments of up to 12 bytes past the end of a stack-allocated buffer.

A heap-buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the Redis hyperloglog data structure versions 3.x before 3.2.13, 4.x before 4.0.14 and 5.x before 5.0.4. By carefully corrupting a hyperloglog using the SETRANGE command, an attacker could trick Redis interpretation of dense HLL encoding to write up to 3 bytes beyond the end of a heap-allocated buffer.

A heap buffer overflow issue was found in the way Slirp networking back-end in QEMU processes fragmented packets. It could occur while reassembling the fragmented datagrams of an incoming packet.

A privileged user/process inside guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process resulting in DoS OR potentially leverage it to execute arbitrary code on the host with privileges of the QEMU process.

In ansible it was found that inventory variables are loaded from current working directory when running ad-hoc command which are under attacker's control, allowing to run arbitrary code as a result.

A flaw was found in ansible. ansible.cfg is read from the current working directory which can be altered to make it point to a plugin or a module path under the control of an attacker, thus allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code.

A flaw was found in memcached version prior to 1.4.37. It contains an Integer Overflow vulnerability in items.c:itemfree() that can result in resource leaks or data corruption, deadlocks and crashes due to items existing in hash table being reused from free list. This attack appear to be exploitable via network connectivity to the memcached service.

Ansible before version 2.3 has an input validation vulnerability in the handling of data sent from client systems. An attacker with control over a client system being managed by Ansible, and the ability to send facts back to the Ansible server, could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code on the Ansible server using the Ansible server privileges.

An assertion-failure flaw was found in Qemu before 2.10.1, in the Network Block Device (NBD) server's initial connection negotiation, where the I/O coroutine was undefined. This could crash the qemu-nbd server if a client sent unexpected data during connection negotiation. A remote user or process could use this flaw to crash the qemu-nbd server resulting in denial of service.
