A flaw was found in PostgreSQL. The chief PostgreSQL client library, libpq, does not adequately reset its internal state before each connection attempt. When one requests a connection using a "host" or "hostaddr" connection parameter provided by an untrusted party, that party can thwart three security-relevant features of the client. First, they can cause PQconnectionUsedPassword() to erroneously return true. Users of contrib module "dblink" or "postgresfdw" can leverage that to use server-side login credentials that they should not be able to use. Second, attackers can cause the PQescape() family of functions to malfunction, permitting SQL injection in "postgresfdw" and likely in other applications. Third, attackers can cause sslmode=prefer to not attempt SSL/TLS at all

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.

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 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.
