IBM Informix Dynamic Server 14.10, and 15.0 contain a local privilege escalation vulnerability in the oninit setuid-root utility.
IBM Informix could allow an unauthenticated user to execute arbitrary commands with service account privileges on the system due to improper validation of user supplied input.
IBM webMethods Integration Server 10.5, 10.7, 10.11, and 10.15
is vulnerable to an XML external entity injection (XXE) attack when processing XML data. A remote authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands.
IBM webMethods Integration Server 10.5, 10.7, 10.11, and 10.15 could allow a privileged user to escalate their privileges when handling external entities due to execution with unnecessary privileges.
A flaw was found in rsync. When using the --safe-links option, rsync fails to properly verify if a symbolic link destination contains another symbolic link within it. This results in a path traversal vulnerability, which may lead to arbitrary file write outside the desired directory.
A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the rsync daemon. This issue is due to improper handling of attacker-controlled checksum lengths (s2length) in the code. When MAXDIGESTLEN exceeds the fixed SUMLENGTH (16 bytes), an attacker can write out of bounds in the sum2 buffer.
Trend Micro's Virus Scan API (VSAPI) and Advanced Threat Scan Engine (ATSE) - are vulnerable to a memory exhaustion vulnerability that may lead to denial-of-service or system freeze if exploited by an attacker using a specially crafted file.
An authenticated server-side request forgery in Nextcloud server 16.0.1 allowed to detect local and remote services when adding a new subscription in the calendar application.
Novell ZENworks Configuration Management before 11.2.4 allows obtaining sensitive trace information.
Novell ZENworks Configuration Management before 11.2.4 allows XSS.
The eglibc package before 2.14 incorrectly handled the getaddrinfo() function. An attacker could use this issue to cause a denial of service.
A flaw was found in the way qemu v1.3.0 and later (virtio-rng) validates addresses when guest accesses the config space of a virtio device. If the virtio device has zero/small sized config space, such as virtio-rng, a privileged guest user could use this flaw to access the matching host's qemu address space and thus increase their privileges on the host.
A type confusion flaw was found in the V8 component of the Chromium browser.

As part of a winning Pwn2Own entry, a researcher demonstrated a sandbox escape by installing a malicious language pack and then opening a browser feature that used the compromised translation. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox < 68, and Thunderbird < 60.8.
A vulnerability exists where the caret ("^") character is improperly escaped constructing some URIs due to it being used as a separator, allowing for possible spoofing of origin attributes.

The LDAP backend in Novell eDirectory before 9.0 SP4 when switched to EBA (Enhanced Background Authentication) kept open connections without EBA.
In Novell eDirectory before 9.0.3.1 the LDAP interface was not strictly enforcing cipher restrictions allowing weaker ciphers to be used during SSL BIND operations.
In dnsmasq before 2.78, if the DNS packet size does not match the expected size, the size parameter in a memset call gets a negative value. As it is an unsigned value, memset ends up writing up to 0xffffffff zero's (0xffffffffffffffff in 64 bit platforms), making dnsmasq crash.
Integer underflow in the addpseudoheader function in dnsmasq before 2.78 , when the --add-mac, --add-cpe-id or --add-subnet option is specified, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted DNS request.
Memory leak in dnsmasq before 2.78, when the --add-mac, --add-cpe-id or --add-subnet option is specified, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via vectors involving DNS response creation.
dnsmasq before 2.78, when configured as a relay, allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive memory information via vectors involving handling DHCPv6 forwarded requests.
Heap-based buffer overflow in dnsmasq before 2.78 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted IPv6 router advertisement request.
The mkdumprd script called "dracut" in the current working directory "." allows local users to trick the administrator into executing code as root.
Directory traversal vulnerability in the doPost method of the Rtrlet class in Novell ZENworks Configuration Management (ZCM) allows remote attackers to upload and execute arbitrary files via unspecified vectors.
The FileViewer class in Novell ZENworks Configuration Management (ZCM) allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files via the filename variable.
Stack-based buffer overflow in the logging functionality in the Preboot Policy service in Novell ZENworks Configuration Management (ZCM) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.
SQL injection vulnerability in the GetReRequestData method of the GetStoredResult class in Novell ZENworks Configuration Management (ZCM) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unspecified vectors.
com.novell.zenworks.inventory.rtr.actionclasses.wcreports in Novell ZENworks Configuration Management (ZCM) allows remote attackers to read arbitrary folders via the dirname variable.
Rtrlet.class in Novell ZENworks Configuration Management (ZCM) allows remote attackers to obtain Session IDs of logged in users via a value of ShowLogins for the maintenance variable.
