crypto: algifaead - Revert to operating out-of-place
A Local Privilege Escalation vulnerability (from any user to root) was found in polkit's pkexec, a SUID-root program that is installed by default on every major Linux distribution.
Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 2 and earlier, 6 Update 30 and earlier, and 5.0 Update 33 and earlier allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Concurrency. NOTE: the previous information was obtained from the February 2012 Oracle CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from a downstream vendor and third party researchers that this issue occurs because the AtomicReferenceArray class implementation does not ensure that the array is of the Object[] type, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (JVM crash) or bypass Java sandbox restrictions. NOTE: this issue was originally mapped to CVE-2011-3571, but that identifier was already assigned to a different issue.
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.

Red Hat would like to thank Stephane Chazelas for reporting this issue.
The Service Location Protocol (SLP, RFC 2608) allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to register arbitrary services. This could allow the attacker to use spoofed UDP traffic to conduct a denial-of-service attack with a significant amplification factor.
A UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following vulnerability in chkstat of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 set permissions intended for specific binaries on other binaries because it erroneously followed symlinks. The symlinks can't be controlled by attackers on default systems, so exploitation is difficult. This issue affects: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 permissions versions prior to 2015.09.28.1626-17.27.1. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 permissions versions prior to 20181116-9.23.1. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 permissions versions prior to 2013.1.7-0.6.12.1.
ALSA sequencer core initializes the event pool on demand by invoking sndseqpoolinit() when the first write happens and the pool is empty. A user can reset the pool size manually via ioctl concurrently, and this may lead to UAF or out-of-bound access.

Integer overflow in the emulatedapdufromguest function in usb/dev-smartcard-reader.c in Quick Emulator (Qemu), when built with the CCID Card device emulator support, allows local users to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a large Application Protocol Data Units (APDU) unit.

It was found that in Linux kernel when peeling off an association to the socket in another network namespace, all transports in this association are not to be rehashed and keep use the old key in hashtable. A kernel would miss removing transports from hashtable when closing the socket and all transports are being freed. Later on a use-after-free issue could be caused when looking up an association and dereferencing the transports.

The (1) HTTP and (2) FTP coders in ImageMagick before 6.9.3-10 and 7.x before 7.0.1-1 allow remote attackers to conduct server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks via a crafted image.
The EPHEMERAL coder in ImageMagick before 6.9.3-10 and 7.x before 7.0.1-1 allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary files via a crafted image.
It was discovered that the RMI (Java Remote Method Invocation) server implementation in the JMX (Java Management Extensions) component of OpenJDK did not restrict which classes can be deserialized when deserializing authentication credentials. A remote unauthenticated attacker able to connect to a JMX port could possibly use this flaw trigger deserialization flaws.
Oracle Java SE 6u105, 7u91 and 8u65 fixes an unspecified vulnerability in the Deployment component (CVE-2015-4902). Upstream has CVSSv2 scored this issue as: 5.0/AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

Moxilla Firefox allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy to read arbitrary files or gain privileges.
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.
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.
It was reported [1] that the gdImageCreateFromXpm() function in libgd could dereference a NULL pointer, noting:
"The call to strlen() parses image.colorTable[i].ccolor which is initialised as NULL if the particular color mapping uses a different key (such as monochrome/monovisual)."
This was reported against PHP, which includes an embedded copy of the gd library. CVE-2014-2497 was assigned to this issue [2].

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.
