In cifs-utils through 6.14, a stack-based buffer overflow when parsing the mount.cifs ip= command-line argument could lead to local attackers gaining root privileges.

An issue was discovered in Cobbler before 3.3.1. In the templar.py file, the function checkforinvalidimports can allow Cheetah code to import Python modules via the "#from MODULE import" substring. (Only lines beginning with #import are blocked.)

A Incorrect Default Permissions vulnerability in the packaging of inn of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11-SP3; openSUSE Backports SLE-15-SP2, openSUSE Leap 15.2 allows local attackers to escalate their privileges from the news user to root. This issue affects: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11-SP3 inn version inn-2.4.2-170.21.3.1 and prior versions. openSUSE Backports SLE-15-SP2 inn versions prior to 2.6.2. openSUSE Leap 15.2 inn versions prior to 2.6.2.

An issue was discovered in JasPer 2.0.14. There is a heap-based buffer over-read of size 8 in the function jp2decode in libjasper/jp2/jp2dec.c.

An integer overflow issue was found in the AMD PC-Net II NIC emulation in QEMU. It could occur while receiving packets, if the size value was greater than INTMAX. Such overflow would lead to stack buffer overflow issue. A user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process resulting in DoS.

A race condition in the postgresql init script could be used by attackers able to access the postgresql account to escalate their privileges to root.

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.

ntpd in NTP 4.x before 4.2.8p8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (ephemeral-association demobilization) by sending a spoofed crypto-NAK packet with incorrect authentication data at a certain time.

ntpd in NTP before 4.2.8p8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a crypto-NAK packet. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2016-1547.

The processpacket function in ntpproto.c in ntpd in NTP 4.x before 4.2.8p8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (peer-variable modification) by sending spoofed packets from many source IP addresses in a certain scenario, as demonstrated by triggering an incorrect leap indication.

named in ISC BIND 9.x before 9.9.8-P4 and 9.10.x before 9.10.3-P4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a crafted signature record for a DNAME record, related to db.c and resolver.c.

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.

It was discovered that sntp program would hang in an infinite loop when a crafted NTP packet was received, related to the conversion of the precision value in the packet to double.

It was found that ntpd could crash due to an uninitialized variable when processing malformed logconfig configuration commands, for example:

ntpq -c ":config logconfig a"

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

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.

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) implementation handled simultaneous connections between the same hosts. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system.

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 discovered that libtasn1 library function asn1getbitder() could incorrectly report negative bit length of the value read from ASN.1 input. This could possibly lead to an out of bounds access in an application using libtasn1, for example in case if application tried to terminate read value with NUL byte.

The following upstream commit corrects the issue and causes the function to report error rather than return negative length value: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libtasn1.git/commit/?id=1c3ccb3e040bf13e342ee60bc23b21b97b11923f

A flaw was found in the way Linux kernel's floppy driver treated userspace provided data in certain error code path while processing FDRAWCMD ioctl command. An local user with write access to /dev/fdX could use this flaw to kfree() arbitrary data. (CVE-2014-1737)

It was found that Linux kernel's floppy driver leaked internal kernel memory addresses to userspace during processing of FDRAWCMD ioctl command. An local user with write access to /dev/fdX could use this flaw to get information about kernel heap arrangment. (CVE-2014-1738)

An local user with write access to /dev/fdX could use these two flaws (CVE-2014-1737 in combination with CVE-2014-1738) to escalate their privileges on the system.

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.

CVE request: http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2014/02/12/2

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.

Multiple integer overflows in the binary-search implementation in SpiderMonkey in Mozilla Firefox before 26.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.23 might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code.

A denial of service flaw was found in the way the JRE processes XML. A remote attacker could use this flaw to supply crafted XML that would lead to a denial of service.

Mozilla Firefox before 22.0, Firefox ESR 17.x before 17.0.7, Thunderbird before 17.0.7, and Thunderbird ESR 17.x before 17.0.7 do not properly handle onreadystatechange events in conjunction with page reloading, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site that triggers an attempt to execute data at an unmapped memory location.
