A crafted request uri-path can cause modproxy to forward the request to an origin server choosen by the remote user. This issue affects Apache HTTP Server 2.4.48 and earlier.
An old inffast.c optimization turns out to not be optimal anymore with modern compilers, and furthermore was not compliant with the C standard, for which decrementing a pointer before its allocated memory is undefined.

Apache HTTP Server contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows an attacker to perform remote code execution if files outside directories configured by Alias-like directives are not under default require all denied or if CGI scripts are enabled. This CVE ID resolves an incomplete patch for CVE-2021-41773.
Apache HTTP Server contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows an attacker to perform remote code execution if files outside directories configured by Alias-like directives are not under default �require all denied� or if CGI scripts are enabled. The original patch issued under this CVE ID is insufficient, please review remediation information under CVE-2021-42013.
A vulnerability was found in lz4, where a potential memory corruption due to an integer overflow bug which caused one of the memmove arguments to become negative. Depending on how the library was compiled this will hit an assert() inside the library and dump core, leaving a 4GB core file, or it wil go into libc and crash inside the memmove() function.

An out-of-bounds write in function apescapequotes of httpd allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to crash the server or potentially execute code on the system with the privileges of the httpd user, by providing malicious input to the function.
GNU glibc is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by a buffer over-read flaw in the proceednextnode function in posix/regexec.c. By sending a specially-crafted argument using a case-insensitive regular-expression match, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system.
A flaw was found in glibc. An integer overflow in the implementation of the posixmemalign in memalign functions in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.26 and earlier could cause these functions to return a pointer to a heap area that is too small, potentially leading to heap corruption.

In Apache httpd 2.2.0 to 2.4.29, when generating an HTTP Digest authentication challenge, the nonce sent to prevent reply attacks was not correctly generated using a pseudo-random seed. In a cluster of servers using a common Digest authentication configuration, HTTP requests could be replayed across servers by an attacker without detection.

A buffer overflow flaw in httpd's lua module could allow an out-of-bounds write. An attacker who is able to submit a crafted request to an httpd instance that is using the lua module may be able to cause an impact to confidentiality, integrity, and/or availability.
A heap overflow flaw was found In Apache httpd modsession. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
Double-free vulnerability in the FTP-kerberos code in cURL 7.52.0 to 7.65.3.
cURL libcurl is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the tftpreceivepacket function. By sending specially-crafted request containing an OACK without the BLKSIZE option, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system.
A flaw was found in the way NSS verifies certificates. That will happen both when client reads the Certificate message from the server or when server is configured to ask for client certificates and then receives one.
Firefox is not vulnerable as it uses the mozilla::pkix for certificate verification. Crucially, NSS fully parses the certificate before any other checks, so disabled signature methods or certificate types don't impact exploitability.
Any TLS and DTLS client that does use NSS built in certificate verification routines is vulnerable as well as any server that has certificate based client authentication enabled.
But the issue is not limited to TLS, any applications that use certificate verification are vulnerable, S/MIME is impacted too.
lookupName in resolve.c in SQLite 3.30.1 omits bits from the colUsed bitmask in the case of a generated column, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact.
curl. Multiple issues were addressed by updating to curl version 7.79.1.
An attacker-controlled pointer free in Busybox's hush applet leads to denial of service and possible code execution when processing a crafted shell command, due to the shell mishandling the &&& string. This may be used for remote code execution under rare conditions of filtered command input.
A security regression for CVE-2019-9636 was discovered in python's functions urllib.parse.urlsplit and urllib.parse.urlparse, introduced with commit d537ab0ff9767ef024f26246899728f0116b1ec3. No upstream python version is affected by this regression but the vulnerable commit may already have been included downstream as part of the original fix for CVE-2019-9636.
Affected python versions ignore the user/password part before @ in the netloc component of a URL, thus it still allows an attacker to exploit the vulnerability as in CVE-2019-9636. Those functions do not properly handle URLs encoded with Punycode/Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA), which may result in a wrong domain name (specifically the netloc component of URL - user@domain:port) being returned by those functions. When an application parses user-supplied URLs to store cookies, authentication credentials, or other kind of information, it is possible for an attacker to provide specially crafted URLs to make the application locate host-related information (e.g. cookies, authentication data) and send them to a different host than where it should, unlike if the URLs had been correctly parsed. The result of an attack may vary based on the application.
