An exploit was posted to full-disclosure labelled "Apache Killer". This script creates a number of threads that use multiple Range headers to exhaust memory on the Apache server.

The ASF httpd development team are working on a fix for this issue: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/apache/dev/401638

nginx 0.8.41 through 1.4.3 and 1.5.x before 1.5.7 allows remote attackers to bypass intended restrictions via an unescaped space character in a URI.

DISPUTED Multiple integer overflows in the lzo1xdecompresssafe function in lib/lzo/lzo1xdecompresssafe.c in the LZO decompressor in the Linux kernel before 3.15.2 allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted Literal Run. NOTE: the author of the LZO algorithms says "the Linux kernel is not affected; media hype."

yast2-add-on-creator in SUSE inst-source-utils 2008.11.26 before 2008.11.26-0.9.1 and 2012.9.13 before 2012.9.13-0.8.1 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted (1) file name or (2) directory name.

Integer overflow in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915gemexecbuffer.c in the i915 driver in the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.8.3, as used in Google Chrome OS before 25.0.1364.173 and other products, allows local users to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted application that triggers many relocation copies, and potentially leads to a race condition.

Array index error in the kvmvmioctlcreatevcpu function in virt/kvm/kvmmain.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.12.5 allows local users to gain privileges via a large id value.

The aaabase package before 11.3-8.9.1 in SUSE openSUSE 11.3, and before 11.4-54.62.1 in openSUSE 11.4, allows local users to gain privileges via shell metacharacters in a filename, related to tab expansion.

A path traversal flaw was found in the way Ark, the tool for managing various archive formats within the KDE environment, processed certain Zip archives. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted Zip archive, which once opened in the Ark GUI frontend would lead to arbitrary file being opened or, potentially, if the local victim provided correct user credentials could allow that file to be removed.

libxslt before 1.1.28 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) via an (1) empty match attribute in a XSL key to the xsltAddKey function in keys.c or (2) uninitialized variable to the xsltDocumentFunction function in functions.c.

Description of problem:

Modsecurity 2.7.4 was released today, according to the changelog there a null pointer dereference flaw

.....

Security Issues:

Fixed Remote Null Pointer DeReference (CVE-2013-2765). When forceRequestBodyVariable action is triggered and a unknown Content-Type is used, modsecurity will crash trying to manipulate msr->mscreqbodychunks->elts however msr->mscreqbodychunks is NULL. (Thanks Younes JAAIDI).

The monlist feature in ntprequest.c in ntpd in NTP before 4.2.7p26 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (traffic amplification) via forged (1) REQMONGETLIST or (2) REQMONGETLIST1 requests, as exploited in the wild in December 2013.

internal/cimxml/sax/NodeFactory.java in Standards-Based Linux Instrumentation for Manageability (SBLIM) Common Information Model (CIM) Client (aka sblim-cim-client2) before 2.1.12 computes hash values without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted XML file.

The isasn1 function in strongSwan 4.1.11 through 5.0.4 does not properly validate the return value of the asn1length function, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a (1) XAuth username, (2) EAP identity, or (3) PEM encoded file that starts with a 0x04, 0x30, or 0x31 character followed by an ASN.1 length value that triggers an integer overflow.

ModSecurity before 2.5.11 treats request parameter values containing single quotes as files, which allows remote attackers to bypass filtering rules and perform other attacks such as cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a single quote in a request parameter in the Content-Disposition field of a request with a multipart/form-data Content-Type header.

It was reported [1] that the uniq command suffered from a segfault when processing input streams that contained extremely long strings. This flaw is due to the inclusion of the coreutils-i18n.patch.

SUSE has fixed this by fixing the patch. The changes can be seen here [2]. (There is probably e better place to get the patch, but I don't know where).
