A new exploitation technique called key reinstallation attacks used to break Wi-Fi handshakes that negotiate session keys was discovered. These attacks target the Wi-Fi/WPA2 standard. An adversary can trick a vulnerable Access Point (AP) into reinstalling the pairwise key by retransmitted or replayed FT Reassociation Request. While reinstalling the already in-use key, the associated packet number (sometimes also called nonce) and receive replay counter is reset. This causes nonce reuse, voiding any security the underlying encryption protocol is supposed to provide. For example, it allows decryption or injection of frames, and enables an attacker to replay frames.

An assertion failure was possible to trigger in jpcfloorlog2.

DISPUTED LibTIFF 4.0.8 has multiple memory leak vulnerabilities, which allow attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption), as demonstrated by tifopen.c, tiflzw.c, and tifaux.c. NOTE: Third parties were unable to reproduce the issue.
