It was discovered that openstack-puppet-modules as used by the Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform Installers would always use the default password of "CHANGEME" when deploying pcsd in HA environments.

Quick emulator (QEMU) before 2.8 built with the Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA Emulator support is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds access issue. The issue could occur while copying VGA data in cirrusbitbltcputovideo. A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process OR potentially execute arbitrary code on host with privileges of the QEMU process.

A vulnerability in openvswitch was found. While parsing an OFPTQUEUEGETCONFIGREPLY type OFP 1.0 message, there is a buffer over-read that is caused by an unsigned integer underflow in the function ofputilpullqueuegetconfigreply10 in lib/ofp-util.c.

Oracle MySQL through 5.5.52, 5.6.x through 5.6.33, and 5.7.x through 5.7.15; MariaDB before 5.5.51, 10.0.x before 10.0.27, and 10.1.x before 10.1.17; and Percona Server before 5.5.51-38.1, 5.6.x before 5.6.32-78.0, and 5.7.x before 5.7.14-7 allow local users to create arbitrary configurations and bypass certain protection mechanisms by setting generallogfile to a my.cnf configuration. NOTE: this can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code with root privileges by setting malloclib. NOTE: the affected MySQL version information is from Oracle's October 2016 CPU. Oracle has not commented on third-party claims that the issue was silently patched in MySQL 5.5.52, 5.6.33, and 5.7.15.

Quick emulator (QEMU) built with the Cirrus CLGD 54xx VGA emulator support is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds access issue. It could occur while copying VGA data via bitblt copy in backward mode. A privileged user inside a guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process resulting in DoS or potentially execute arbitrary code on the host with privileges of QEMU process on the host.

The Floppy Disk Controller (FDC) in QEMU, as used in Xen 4.5.x and earlier and KVM, allows local guest users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and guest crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via the (1) FDCMDREADID, (2) FDCMDDRIVESPECIFICATIONCOMMAND, or other unspecified commands, aka VENOM.

Integer overflow in the getnum function in luastruct.c in Redis 2.8.x before 2.8.24 and 3.0.x before 3.0.6 allows context-dependent attackers with permission to run Lua code in a Redis session to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly bypass intended sandbox restrictions via a large number, which triggers a stack-based buffer overflow.

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.

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the USB xHCI controller emulation support is vulnerable to an infinite loop issue. It could occur while processing USB command ring in 'xhciringfetch'.

A privileged user/process inside guest could use this issue to crash the Qemu process on the host leading to DoS.

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the RTL8139 ethernet controller emulation support is vulnerable to an infinite loop issue. It could occur while transmitting packets in C+ mode of operation.

A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to consume excessive CPU cycles on the host, resulting in DoS situation.

Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the Intel HDA controller emulation support is vulnerable to an infinite loop issue. It could occur while processing the DMA buffer stream while doing data transfer in 'intelhdaxfer'.

A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to consume excessive CPU cycles on the host, resulting in DoS.

A race-condition flaw was discovered in openstack-neutron before 7.2.0-12.1, 8.x before 8.3.0-11.1, 9.x before 9.3.1-2.1, and 10.x before 10.0.2-1.1, where, following a minor overcloud update, neutron security groups were disabled. Specifically, the following were reset to 0: net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables and net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables. The race was only triggered by an update, at which point an attacker could access exposed tenant VMs and network resources.

Quick emulator(Qemu) built with the USB xHCI controller emulator support is vulnerable to an infinite loop issue. It could occur while processing control transfer descriptors' sequence in xhcikickepctx.

A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the Qemu process resulting in DoS.

Beth Lancaster and Brandon Sawyers from Virginia Tech reported a vulnerability in Horizon. By injecting Angularjs template in dashboard forms, such as image's description, an authenticated user may trigger a cross-site-scripting vulnerability when another user browses the affected pages. It may result in potential assets theft like user access credentials. All Horizon setups are affected.
