It was found that the web interface provided by Red Hat Satellite to create the initial administrator user was not disabled after the initial user was created. A remote attacker could use this flaw to create an administrator user with credentials they specify. This user could then be used to assume control of the Satellite server.
The eglibc package before 2.14 incorrectly handled the getaddrinfo() function. An attacker could use this issue to cause a denial of service.
Puppet 2.7.x before 2.7.22 and 3.2.x before 3.2.2, and Puppet Enterprise before 2.8.2, deserializes untrusted YAML, which allows remote attackers to instantiate arbitrary Ruby classes and execute arbitrary code via a crafted REST API call.
pdf.c in ClamAV 0.97.1 through 0.97.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds-read) via a crafted length value in an encrypted PDF file.
Integer underflow in the cliscanpe function in pe.c in ClamAV before 0.97.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a skewed offset larger than the size of the PE section in a UPX packed executable, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.
A stack overflow vulnerability was found in nan functions that could cause applications which process long strings with the nan function to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code.
Upstream bug:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/showbug.cgi?id=16962
CVE assignment:
http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2016/q1/153
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.
Adam Gowdiak (Security Explorations) reported that the fix for IBM JDK issue CVE-2013-5456 (bug 1027748), also known as "Issue 70", did not correctly address the problem. Applied fix only restricted access to the vulnerable package, rather then addressing the underlying problem of running untrusted code inside doPrivileged block.
