Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 47.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.
A flaw was found in ruby, where the date object was found to be vulnerable to a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) during the parsing of dates. This flaw allows an attacker to hang a ruby application by providing a specially crafted date string. The highest threat to this vulnerability is system availability.

A weakness was found in the Linux ASLR implementation. Any user able to running 32-bit applications in a x86 machine can disable the ASLR by setting the RLIMITSTACK resource to unlimited.

In the marksourcechains function (net/ipv4/netfilter/iptables.c) it is possible for a user-supplied iptentry structure to have a large nextoffset field. This field is not bounds checked prior to writing a counter value at the supplied offset.

A use after free vulnerability was found in pppunregisterchannel function. This is triggered when network namespace is removed while pppasync channel is still registered in it and pppunregisterchannel() tries to access its per-netns data in the defunct namespace.
An attacker who could control this memory that is being used in the defunct namespace could create a denial of service by spinlocking a CPU.
An unprivileged local user could use this flaw to induce kernel memory corruption on the system, leading to a crash. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely.

CVE request:
http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2016/q2/319
A flaw was discovered in processing setsockopt for 32 bit processes on 64 bit systems. This flaw will allow attackers to alter arbitary kernel memory when unloading a kernel module. This action is usually restricted to root-priveledged users but can also be leveraged if the kernel is compiled with CONFIGUSERNS and CONFIGNETNS and the user is granted elevated priveledges.
This flaw was introduced in commit 52e804c6dfaa,
