HAproxy 1.6.x before 1.6.6, when a deny comes from a reqdeny rule, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (uninitialized memory access and crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.
Jean-Baptiste Cayrou discovered that the shiftfs file system in the Ubuntu Linux kernel contained a race condition when handling inode locking in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (kernel deadlock).
Apache Standard Taglibs before 1.2.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or conduct external XML entity (XXE) attacks via a crafted XSLT extension in a (1) <x:parse> or (2) <x:transform> JSTL XML tag.

An issue was found in the Linux kernel ipv6 implementation of GRE tunnels which allows a remote attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds access. At this time we understand no trust barrier has been crossed and there is no security implications in this flaw.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernels function pathopenat() in which would incorrectly clear up twice (as part of pathlookupat() called by dotmpfile(). Doing so again can lead to double fput(). This can lead to a use-after free condition.

Apport does not properly handle crashes originating from a PID namespace allowing local users to create certain files as root which an attacker could leverage to perform a denial of service via resource exhaustion, possibly gain root privileges, or escape from containers. The issamens() function returns True when /proc/<global pid>/ does not exist in order to indicate that the crash should be handled in the global namespace rather than inside of a container. However, the portion of the data/apport code that decides whether or not to forward a crash to a container does not always replace sys.argv[1] with the value stored in the hostpid variable when /proc/<global pid>/ does not exist which results in the container pid being used in the global namespace. This flaw affects versions 2.20.8-0ubuntu4 through 2.20.9-0ubuntu7, 2.20.7-0ubuntu3.7, 2.20.7-0ubuntu3.8, 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.15 through 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.17, and 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.28.
An issue was discovered in network-manager-applet (aka network-manager-gnome) in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, 14.04 LTS, 16.04 LTS, and 16.10. A local attacker could use this issue at the default Ubuntu login screen to access local files and execute arbitrary commands as the lightdm user. The exploitation requires physical access to the locked computer and the Wi-Fi must be turned on. An access point that lets you use a certificate to login is required as well, but it's easy to create one. Then, it's possible to open a nautilus window and browse directories. One also can open some applications such as Firefox, which is useful for downloading malicious binaries.

It was discovered that MethodHandle did not properly handle variable argument lists when permuting or dropping arguments. An untrusted Java application or applet could possibly use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.
It was discovered that the AlgorithmChecker and SignatureAndHashAlgorithm classes did not properly prevent the SIGNATUREPRIMITIVESET set from being modified. An untrusted Java application or applet could possibly use this flaw to alter the content of the SIGNATUREPRIMITIVESET set.
The Ubuntu Date and Time Indicator (aka indicator-datetime) 13.10.0+13.10.x before 13.10.0+13.10.20131023.2-0ubuntu1.1 does not properly restrict access to Evolution, which allows local users to bypass the greeter screen restrictions by clicking the date.
The gdImageCrop function in ext/gd/gd.c in PHP 5.5.x before 5.5.9 does not check return values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via invalid imagecrop arguments that lead to use of a NULL pointer as a return value, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-7226.
The layout engine in Mozilla Firefox 3.x before 3.0.5, Thunderbird 2.x before 2.0.0.19, and SeaMonkey 1.x before 1.1.14 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors that trigger memory corruption, related to the GetXMLEntity and FastAppendChar functions.
The layout engine in Mozilla Firefox 3.x before 3.0.5, Thunderbird 2.x before 2.0.0.19, and SeaMonkey 1.x before 1.1.14 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via vectors that trigger an assertion failure.
Unity before 7.2.1, as used in Ubuntu 14.04, does not properly restrict access to the Dash when the lock screen is active, which allows physically proximate attackers to bypass the lock screen and execute arbitrary commands, as demonstrated by pressing the SUPER key before the screen auto-locks.
Unity before 7.2.1, as used in Ubuntu 14.04, does not properly handle keyboard shortcuts, which allows physically proximate attackers to bypass the lock screen and execute arbitrary commands, as demonstrated by right-clicking on the indicator bar and then pressing the ALT and F2 keys.
WebKit, as used in Google Chrome before 4.0.249.78 and Apple Safari, allows remote attackers to bypass intended restrictions on popup windows via crafted use of a mouse click event.
Mozilla Firefox 2.x before 2.0.0.1, 1.5.x before 1.5.0.9, and SeaMonkey before 1.0.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by appending an SVG comment DOM node to another type of document, which triggers memory corruption.
The gmp plugin in strongSwan before 5.5.3 does not properly validate RSA public keys before calling mpzpowmsec, which allows remote peers to cause a denial of service (floating point exception and process crash) via a crafted certificate.
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.
Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 26.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.2, Thunderbird before 24.2, and SeaMonkey before 2.23 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.
Use-after-free vulnerability in the PresShell::DispatchSynthMouseMove function in Mozilla Firefox before 26.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.2, Thunderbird before 24.2, and SeaMonkey before 2.23 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via vectors involving synthetic mouse movement, related to the RestyleManager::GetHoverGeneration function.
Use-after-free vulnerability in the nsNodeUtils::LastRelease function in the table-editing user interface in the editor component in Mozilla Firefox before 26.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.2, Thunderbird before 24.2, and SeaMonkey before 2.23 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by triggering improper garbage collection.
The JavaScript implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 26.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.2, Thunderbird before 24.2, and SeaMonkey before 2.23 does not properly enforce certain typeset restrictions on the generation of GetElementIC typed array stubs, which has unspecified impact and remote attack vectors.

Apport reads and writes information on a crashed process to /proc/pid with elevated privileges. Apport then determines which user the crashed process belongs to by reading /proc/pid through getpidinfo() in data/apport. An unprivileged user could exploit this to read information about a privileged running process by exploiting PID recycling. This information could then be used to obtain ASLR offsets for a process with an existing memory corruption vulnerability. The initial fix introduced regressions in the Python Apport library due to a missing argument in Report.addprocenviron in apport/report.py. It also caused an autopkgtest failure when reading /proc/pid and with Python 2 compatibility by reading /proc maps. The initial and subsequent regression fixes are in 2.20.11-0ubuntu16, 2.20.11-0ubuntu8.6, 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.12, 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.22 and 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.29+esm3.
