A flaw was found in the Serialization component of OpenJDK. A reference to an uninitialized class descriptor encountered during object stream deserialization could cause an unexpected exception to be raised when processing an untrusted serialized input.
A flaw was found in the Nashorn JavaScript engine in the Scripting component of OpenJDK. The state machine of the regular expression Parser did not correctly handle empty string nodes in certain cases, which could cause an unexpected exception to be raised when processing a specially crafted regular expression.
A flaw was found in the Nashorn JavaScript engine in the Scripting component of OpenJDK. Processing of the forward references prior to checking for regular expression syntax errors could cause an unexpected exception to be raised when processing a specially crafted regular expression.
A flaw was found in the Serialization component of OpenJDK. The invokeWriteObject() method of the ObjectStreamClass method failed to catch InstantiationError exception during object stream deserialization, which could cause an unexpected exception to be raised when processing an untrusted serialized input.
A flaw was found in the Security component of OpenJDK. It was discovered that the unmarshalKeyInfo() method of the DOMKeyInfoFactory class and the unmarshalXMLSignature() method of the DOMXMLSignatureFactory class could raise exceptions not declared as thrown by these methods when reading key info or XML signature data from XML input.
An unspecified vulnerability in Java SE related to the Libraries component could allow an unauthenticated attacker to cause no confidentiality impact, low integrity impact, and no availability impact.
An unspecified vulnerability in Java SE related to the Libraries component could allow an unauthenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information resulting in a low confidentiality impact using unknown attack vectors.
A flaw was found in the way the Libraries component of OpenJDK handled blacklists of untrusted certificates. Alternate certificate encodings were not considered, causing certain certificate fingerprints to not be blacklisted, possibly leading to untrusted certificates being accepted.
An unspecified vulnerability in Java SE related to the JNDI component could allow an unauthenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information resulting in a low confidentiality impact using unknown attack vectors.
An unspecified vulnerability in Java SE related to the Serialization component could allow an unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial of service resulting in a low availability impact using unknown attack vectors.
It was discovered that crypto provider implementations in the JCE component of OpenJDK for crypto algorithms such as AES or SHA did not perform array bounds checks. This could lead to out-of-bounds access if compiler intrinsics were used instead of the Java runtime implementations of the specific operations.
It was discovered that the AccessController class implementation in the Security component of OpenJDK failed, in certain cases, to consider the current context and correctly restrict privileges based on it. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions.
Buffer overflow vulnerability in libsolv 2020-12-13 via the Solver testcaseread(Pool pool, FILE fp, const char testcase, Queue job, char resultp, int resultflagsp function at src/testcase.c: line 2334, which could cause a denial of service
A UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following vulnerability in chkstat of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 set permissions intended for specific binaries on other binaries because it erroneously followed symlinks. The symlinks can't be controlled by attackers on default systems, so exploitation is difficult. This issue affects: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 permissions versions prior to 2015.09.28.1626-17.27.1. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 permissions versions prior to 20181116-9.23.1. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 permissions versions prior to 2013.1.7-0.6.12.1.
An unspecified vulnerability in Java SE related to the Java SE Networking component could allow an unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial of service resulting in a low availability impact using unknown attack vectors.
A flaw was discovered in the way the Libraries component of OpenJDK processed X.509 certificates. Values of Object Identifiers (OIDs) were "interned", possibly allowing a malicious X.509 certificate to trigger excessive memory usage in a Java application processing such certificate.
A flaw was found in the way the GssKrb5Base class in the Security component of OpenJDK validated properties of SASL messages included in Kerberos GSSAPI, omitting required token checks. An remote attacker with ability to manipulate network traffic between server and client using Kerberos GSSAPI could possibly perform message modification that would not be detected during message decoding.
A flaw was found in the what the BeanContextSupport class in the Serialization component of OpenJDK handled exceptions during deserialization. A specially-crafted input could cause a Java application to use an excessive amount of resources when deserialized.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The generation of the device ID from the network RNG internal state is predictable. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

A vulnerability was found in basesockcreate in drivers/isdn/mISDN/socket.c in the AFISDN network module in the Linux kernel does not enforce CAPNETRAW, which means that unprivileged users can create a raw socket.

A flaw was found in the kernels implementation of the bluetooth HIDP (Human Interface Device Protocol). A local attacker with access permissions to the bluetooth device can issue an IOCTL which will trigger the dohidpsockioctl function in net/bluetooth/hidp/sock.c.c. This function can potentially leak potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a HIDPCONNADD command, because a name field may not correctly NULL terminated.

The AliasHandler component in PostfixAdmin before 3.0.2 allows remote authenticated domain admins to delete protected aliases via the delete parameter to delete.php, involving a missing permission check.
Jakub Wilk discovered that clang's scan-build utility insecurely handled temporary files. A local attacker could use this flaw to perform a symbolic link attack against users running the scan-build utility.

The session-restore feature in Mozilla Firefox before 28.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.25 does not consider the Content Security Policy of a data: URL, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted document that is accessed after a browser restart.
The startauthentication function in lightdm-gtk-greeter.c in LightDM GTK+ Greeter before 1.7.1 does not properly handle the return value from the lightdmgreetergetauthenticationuser function, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via an empty username.

An information leak flaw was found in the way way segmentation was performed on skbs originated from vhost-net when zerocopy feature was enabled. Once the source skb is consumed, ubuf destructor is called and potentially releases the corresponding userspace buffers, which can then for example be repurposed, while the destination skb could still be pointing to the them.

Stack-based buffer overflow in socat 1.3.0.0 through 1.7.2.2 and 2.0.0-b1 through 2.0.0-b6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a long server name in the PROXY-CONNECT address in the command line.
Percona XtraBackup before 2.1.6 uses a constant string for the initialization vector (IV), which makes it easier for local users to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms and conduct plaintext attacks.
