Nokogiri gem 1.5.x and 1.6.x has DoS while parsing XML entities by failing to apply limits

Nokogiri gem 1.5.x has Denial of Service via infinite loop when parsing XML documents

HTTPSConnections in OpenStack Keystone 2013, OpenStack Compute 2013.1, and possibly other OpenStack components, fail to validate server-side SSL certificates.

The python-qpid client (common/rpc/implqpid.py) in OpenStack Oslo before 2013.2 does not enforce SSL connections when qpidprotocol is set to ssl, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by sniffing the network.

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libyaml parsed YAML tags. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted YAML document that, when parsed by an application using libyaml, would cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
