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 (1) jdom.rb and (2) rexml.rb components in Active Support in Ruby on Rails before 3.2.22, 4.1.x before 4.1.11, and 4.2.x before 4.2.2, when JDOM or REXML is enabled, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (SystemStackError) via a large XML document depth.
A flaw was reported in IcedTea-web plugin where certain events attached to an applet, when triggered, could lead to a heap-based buffer overflow, resulting in possible information leak, crash, or code execution.
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Cacti 0.8.8b and earlier allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the step parameter to install/index.php or (2) the id parameter to cacti/host.php.
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.
It was reported [1] that IBUS 1.5.4 (and possibly 1.5.2) do not properly obscure password entry if a special "intent" is not provided.
A fix in ibus-anthy [2] illustrates what is necessary to provide the input purpose for the gnome-shell password dialog. A similar patch exists for ibus-mozc [3].
The SUSE bug report notes the following engines are affected:
ibus-mozc ibus-anthy (upstream 1.5.4 is fixed; in current Fedora) ibus-pinyin ibus-chewing
The vulnerability is in these engines due to the changes in IBUS, so it only affects these engines when IBUS >= 1.5.4 (or 1.5.2, it hasn't been determine precisely from what I can see) and GNOME 3.6+ are used together.

The image creation configuration in aaabase before 16.26.1 for openSUSE 13.1 KDE adds the root user to the "users" group when installing from a live image, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information and possibly have other unspecified impacts, as demonstrated by reading /etc/shadow.
Description of problem:
There are serveral problems with the way Jython creates class cache files, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or information disclosure.
(umask 000; jython -c 'import xmllib') ls -l '/usr/share/jython/Lib/xmllib$py.class' -rw-rw-rw-. 1 root root 52874 Apr 3 17:24 /usr/share/jython/Lib/xmllib$py.class
Jython does not explicitly set permissions of the class files; therefore with weak umask it creates world-writable files, or discloses sensitive data that would be in a non-world-readable package file.
Also, the package writes to /usr/share, which it shouldn't; /var/cache would be more appropriate, but would still lead to a possibility of a content disclosure.
The only really portable and secure way to cache class files would be a directory in user's home with 0700 permissions.
It is currently even not possible to easily disable the caching, since the configuration file is not marked with %config and resides in /usr/share instead of /etc.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
jython-2.2.1-4.8.el6.x8664
It was reported that hivex [1], a library that can read and write hive files (undocumented binary files that Windows uses to store the Windows Registry on disk), did not properly handle small-sized hive files. An attacker able to supply a hive file of a small size to an application using the hivex library could use this flaw to read, and possibly write, up to 4095 bytes beyond the end of the allocated buffer, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution with the with the privileges of the user running that application.
This issue has been fixed in upstream version 3.11 of hivex. Upstream patches are available at:

Directory traversal vulnerability in libraries/errorreport.lib.php in the error-reporting feature in phpMyAdmin 4.1.x before 4.1.14.7 and 4.2.x before 4.2.12 allows remote authenticated users to obtain potentially sensitive information about a file's line count via a crafted parameter.
Directory traversal vulnerability in libraries/gis/GISFactory.class.php in the GIS editor in phpMyAdmin 4.0.x before 4.0.10.6, 4.1.x before 4.1.14.7, and 4.2.x before 4.2.12 allows remote authenticated users to include and execute arbitrary local files via a crafted geometry-type parameter.
automount 5.0.8, when a program map uses certain interpreted languages, uses the calling user's USER and HOME environment variable values instead of the values for the user used to run the mapped program, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse program in the user home directory.
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in phpMyAdmin 4.0.x before 4.0.10.5, 4.1.x before 4.1.14.6, and 4.2.x before 4.2.10.1 allow remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted (1) database name or (2) table name, related to the libraries/DatabaseInterface.class.php code for SQL debug output and the js/serverstatusmonitor.js code for the server monitor page.
The REXML parser in Ruby 1.9.x before 1.9.3-p550, 2.0.x before 2.0.0-p594, and 2.1.x before 2.1.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted XML document, aka an XML Entity Expansion (XEE) attack.
Directory traversal vulnerability in actionpack/lib/actiondispatch/middleware/static.rb in Action Pack in Ruby on Rails 3.x before 3.2.20, 4.0.x before 4.0.11, 4.1.x before 4.1.7, and 4.2.x before 4.2.0.beta3, when servestaticassets is enabled, allows remote attackers to determine the existence of files outside the application root via a /..%2F sequence.
Directory traversal vulnerability in actionpack/lib/actiondispatch/middleware/static.rb in Action Pack in Ruby on Rails 3.x before 3.2.21, 4.0.x before 4.0.12, 4.1.x before 4.1.8, and 4.2.x before 4.2.0.beta4, when servestaticassets is enabled, allows remote attackers to determine the existence of files outside the application root via vectors involving a \ (backslash) character, a similar issue to CVE-2014-7818.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the micro history implementation in phpMyAdmin 4.0.x before 4.0.10.3, 4.1.x before 4.1.14.4, and 4.2.x before 4.2.8.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML, and consequently conduct a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attack to create a root account, via a crafted URL, related to js/ajax.js.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the view operations page in phpMyAdmin 4.1.x before 4.1.14.3 and 4.2.x before 4.2.7.1 allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted view name, related to js/functions.js.
serverusergroups.php in phpMyAdmin 4.1.x before 4.1.14.2 and 4.2.x before 4.2.6 allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions and read the MySQL user list via a viewUsers request.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Host Aggregates interface in OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon) before 2013.2.4, 2014.1 before 2014.1.2, and Juno before Juno-3 allows remote administrators to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a new host aggregate name.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in horizon/static/horizon/js/horizon.instances.js in the Launch Instance menu in OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon) before 2013.2.4, 2014.1 before 2014.1.2, and Juno before Juno-2 allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a network name.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Orchestration/Stack section in the Horizon Orchestration dashboard in OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon) before 2013.2.4, 2014.1 before 2014.1.2, and Juno before Juno-2, when used with Heat, allows remote Orchestration template owners or catalogs to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted template.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Users panel (admin/users/) in OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon) before 2013.2.4, 2014.1 before 2014.1.2, and Juno before Juno-2 allows remote administrators to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a user email address, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-8578.
plugins/rssyl/feed.c in Claws Mail before 3.10.0 disables the CURLOPTSSLVERIFYHOST check for CN or SAN host name fields, which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof servers and conduct man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks.
Adrian Panasiuk discovered that the KDirStat (KDE Directory Statistics) tool did not correctly escape quotes when deleting a directory permanently. Attempting to use KDirStat to permanently delete a directory that has a malicious name could result in arbitrary command execution.
The original report is regarding single quotes. Testing with the Fedora revealed the issue there was with double quotes.
Original report: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=741659
kcleanup.cpp in KDirStat 2.7.3 does not properly quote strings when deleting a directory, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a ' (single quote) character in the directory name, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-2527.
client/X11/xfgraphics.c:xfPointerNew() performs a heap allocation this way:
void xfPointerNew(rdpContext context, rdpPointer pointer) { XcursorImage ci; […] ci.width = pointer->width; ci.height = pointer->height; […] ci.pixels = (XcursorPixel) malloc(ci.width ci.height 4);
The width and height members are read from the wire. Both are 16 bit, but because of the multiplication with 4, the allocation still overflows (on 32 bit and 64 bit).
xfBitmapDecompress() appears to have a similar issue.
These look very much like a trust boundary is crossed. Consequently, this is an embargoed security bug which has to be fixed in cooperation with upstream (which appears to be affected as well).
Heap-based buffer overflow in the JPEG2000 image tile decoder in OpenJPEG before 1.5.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file because of incorrect j2kdecode, j2kreadeoc, and tcddecodetile interaction, a related issue to CVE-2013-6045. NOTE: this is not a duplicate of CVE-2013-1447, because the scope of CVE-2013-1447 was specifically defined in http://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2013/12/04/6 as only "null pointer dereferences, division by zero, and anything that would just fit as DoS."
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in program/js/app.js in Roundcube webmail before 1.0.7 and 1.1.x before 1.1.3 allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the file name in a drag-n-drop file upload.
