Mozilla developers and community members Andreea Pavel, Christian Holler, Honza Bambas, Jason Kratzer, and Jeff Gilbert reported memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 68, Firefox ESR 60.8, and Thunderbird 68. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code.
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.

A vulnerability was found in Linux kernel. There is an information leak in file "sound/core/timer.c" of the latest mainline Linux kernel, the stack object “tread” has a total size of 32 bytes. It contains a 8-bytes padding, which is not initialized but sent to user via copytouser(), resulting a kernel leak.
Destroy of network interface with huge number of ipv4 addresses keeps rtnllock for a very long time (up to hour). It blocks many network related operations, including for example creation of new incoming ssh connections.
The problem is especially important for containers, container owner have enough permission to enable this trigger and then can block network access on whole host node.

arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.17.2 on Intel processors does not ensure that the value in the CR4 control register remains the same after a VM entry, which allows host OS users to kill arbitrary processes or cause a denial of service (system disruption) by leveraging /dev/kvm access, as demonstrated by PRSETTSC prctl calls within a modified copy of QEMU.
A vulnerability was found in the usbnet Linux kernel driver.
The bug allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have other impact by inserting a USB device with an invalid USB descriptor.

An information leak vulnerability in rtnetlink subsystem in Linux kernel was found in "net/core/rtnetlink.c". The stack object "map" has a total size of 32 bytes. Its last 4 bytes are padding generated by compiler. These padding bytes are not initialized and sent out via nlaput().

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.

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,
