A flaw was found in the bash functionality that evaluates specially formatted environment variables passed to it from another environment. An attacker could use this feature to override or bypass restrictions to the environment to execute shell commands before restrictions have been applied. Certain services and applications allow remote unauthenticated attackers to provide environment variables, allowing them to exploit this issue.

An unspecified flaw was found in the Libraries component in OpenJDK. ObjectInputStream's readSerialData() could, in certain cases, incorrectly perform deserialization of data from serialized input. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.

Use-after-free vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player before 13.0.0.269 and 14.x through 16.x before 16.0.0.305 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.442 on Linux allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, as exploited in the wild in February 2015, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-0315, CVE-2015-0320, and CVE-2015-0322.

Unspecified vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player through 13.0.0.262 and 14.x, 15.x, and 16.x through 16.0.0.287 on Windows and OS X and through 11.2.202.438 on Linux allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors, as exploited in the wild in January 2015.

GNU Bash through 4.3 bash43-025 processes trailing strings after certain malformed function definitions in the values of environment variables, which allows remote attackers to write to files or possibly have unknown other impact via a crafted environment, as demonstrated by vectors involving the ForceCommand feature in OpenSSH sshd, the modcgi and modcgid modules in the Apache HTTP Server, scripts executed by unspecified DHCP clients, and other situations in which setting the environment occurs across a privilege boundary from Bash execution. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-6271.

A flaw was found in the way pi to pi futex requeueing was handled.

A local unprivileged user can use this flaw to increase their privileges on the system.

The (1) WebGL.compressedTexImage2D and (2) WebGL.compressedTexSubImage2D functions in Mozilla Firefox before 28.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.25 allow remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and render content in a different domain via unspecified vectors.

The session-restore feature in Mozilla Firefox before 28.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.25 does not consider the Content Security Policy of a data: URL, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted document that is accessed after a browser restart.

Mozilla Firefox before 28.0 on Android allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and access arbitrary file: URLs via vectors involving the "Open Link in New Tab" menu selection.

Mozilla Firefox before 28.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.25 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption and application hang) via onbeforeunload events that trigger background JavaScript execution.

Mozilla Firefox before 28.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.25 allow remote attackers to spoof the domain name in the WebRTC (1) camera or (2) microphone permission prompt by triggering navigation at a certain time during generation of this prompt.

The crypto.generateCRMFRequest method in Mozilla Firefox before 28.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.25 does not properly validate a certain key type, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via vectors that trigger generation of a key that supports the Elliptic Curve ec-dual-use algorithm.

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 28.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.25 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.

Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.15.4, as used in Mozilla Firefox before 27.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.3, Thunderbird before 24.3, SeaMonkey before 2.24, and other products, does not properly restrict public values in Diffie-Hellman key exchanges, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass cryptographic protection mechanisms in ticket handling by leveraging use of a certain value.

Mozilla Firefox before 27.0 does not properly restrict access to about:home buttons by script on other pages, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (session restore) via a crafted web site.

Race condition in libssl in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.15.4, as used in Mozilla Firefox before 27.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.3, Thunderbird before 24.3, SeaMonkey before 2.24, and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors involving a resumption handshake that triggers incorrect replacement of a session ticket.

Mozilla Firefox before 27.0 on Android 4.2 and earlier creates system-log entries containing profile paths, which allows attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted application.

The Web workers implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 27.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.24 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving termination of a worker process that has performed a cross-thread object-passing operation in conjunction with use of asm.js.

The Content Security Policy (CSP) implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 27.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.24 operates on XSLT stylesheets according to style-src directives instead of script-src directives, which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary XSLT code by leveraging insufficient style-src restrictions.

Mozilla Firefox before 27.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.24 allow remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and obtain sensitive information by using an IFRAME element in conjunction with certain timing measurements involving the document.caretPositionFromPoint and document.elementFromPoint functions.

The file-download implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 27.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.24 does not properly restrict the timing of button selections, which allows remote attackers to conduct clickjacking attacks, and trigger unintended launching of a downloaded file, via a crafted web site.

Adobe Flash Player contains a double free vulnerability that allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Adobe Flash Player contains an integer underflow vulnerability that allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.

A flaw was found in the way cifs handled iovecs with bogus pointers userland passed down via writev() during uncached writes.

An unprivileged local user with access to cifs share could use this flaw to crash the system or leak kernel memory. Privilege escalation cannot be ruled out (since memory corruption is involved), but is unlikely.

The default cache settings for cifs mounts on Red Hat Enterprise Linux prohibit successful exploitation of this issue.
