Integer overflow in Adobe Flash Player before 18.0.0.324 and 19.x and 20.x before 20.0.0.267 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.559 on Linux, Adobe AIR before 20.0.0.233, Adobe AIR SDK before 20.0.0.233, and Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler before 20.0.0.233 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.

Adobe Flash Player 18.x through 18.0.0.252 and 19.x through 19.0.0.207 on Windows and OS X and 11.x through 11.2.202.535 on Linux allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted SWF file, as exploited in the wild in October 2015.

Moxilla Firefox allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy to read arbitrary files or gain privileges.

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel in function rdsincinfocopy of file net/rds/recv.c. The last field "flags" of object "minfo" is not initialized. Copying this object out may leak kernel stack data. Assign 0 to it to avoid leak.

Buffer overflow vulnerabilities in functions pnggetPLTE/pngsetPLTE, allowing remote attackers to cause DoS to application or have unspecified other impact. These functions failed to check for an out-of-range palette when reading or writing PNG files with a bitdepth less than 8. Some applications might read the bit depth from the IHDR chunk and allocate memory for a 2^N entry palette, while libpng can return a palette with up to 256 entries even when the bit depth is less than 8.

Affected versions of libpng are before 1.0.64, 1.1.x and 1.2.x before 1.2.54, 1.3.x and 1.4.x before 1.4.17, 1.5.x before 1.5.24, and 1.6.x before 1.6.19.

A stack-based buffer overflow was found in libresolv when invoked from nssdns, allowing specially crafted DNS responses to seize control of EIP in the DNS client.

The buffer overflow occurs in the functions senddg (send datagram) and sendvc (send TCP) for the NSS module libnssdns.so.2 when calling getaddrinfo with AFUNSPEC family, or in some cases AFINET6 family. The use of AFUNSPEC (or AFINET6 in some cases) triggers the low-level resolver code to send out two parallel queries for A and AAAA. A mismanagement of the buffers used for those queries could result in the response of a query writing beyond the alloca allocated buffer created by resnquery.

hw/ide/core.c in QEMU does not properly restrict the commands accepted by an ATAPI device, which allows guest users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via certain IDE commands, as demonstrated by a WINREADNATIVEMAX command to an empty drive, which triggers a divide-by-zero error and instance crash.

It was found that ntpd did not correctly implement the -g option:

-g Normally, ntpd exits with a message to the system log if the offset exceeds the panic threshold, which is 1000 s by default. This option allows the time to be set to any value without restriction; however, this can happen only once. If the thresh‐ old is exceeded after that, ntpd will exit with a message to the system log. This option can be used with the -q and -x options. See the tinker command for other options.

ntpd could actually step the clock multiple times by more than the panic threshold if its clock discipline doesn't have enough time to reach the sync state and stay there for at least one update. If a man-in-the-middle attacker can control the NTP traffic since ntpd was started (or maybe up to 15-30 minutes after that), they can prevent the client from reaching the sync state and force it to step its clock by any amount any number of times, which can be used by attackers to expire certificates, etc.

This is contrary to what the documentation says. Normally, the assumption is that an MITM attacker can step the clock more than the panic threshold only once when ntpd starts and to make a larger adjustment the attacker has to divide it into multiple smaller steps, each taking 15 minutes, which is slow.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the IDE subsystem in QEMU, as used in Xen 4.5.x and earlier, when the container has a CDROM drive enabled, allows local guest users to execute arbitrary code on the host via unspecified ATAPI commands.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the PCNET controller in QEMU allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending a packet with TXSTATUSSTARTPACKET set and then a crafted packet with TXSTATUSDEVICEOWNS set.

lib/gssapi/krb5/iakerb.c in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before 1.14 relies on an inappropriate context handle, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (incorrect pointer read and process crash) via a crafted IAKERB packet that is mishandled during a gssinquirecontext call.

Incorrect emulation of the SPC700 audio co-processor of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System allows the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed SPC music file is opened.
