An information leak vulnerability in rtnetlink subsystem in Linux kernel was found in "net/core/rtnetlink.c". The stack object "map" has a total size of 32 bytes. Its last 4 bytes are padding generated by compiler. These padding bytes are not initialized and sent out via nlaput().

Qemu emulator built with the e1000 NIC emulation support is vulnerable to an infinite loop issue. It could occur while processing transmit descriptor data when sending a network packet.

A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to crash the Qemu instance resulting in DoS.

It was discovered that the Invariance Weakness of the RC4 stream cipher could be used to recover plaintext from a TLS connection, when RC4 encryption is used.

"The Invariance Weakness is an L-shape key pattern in RC4 keys, which once it exists in an RC4 key, preserves part of the state permutation intact throughout the initialization process. This intact part includes the least significant bits of the permutation, when processed by the PRGA algorithm, determines the least significant bits of the allegedly pseudo-random output stream along a long prefix of the stream."

This can lead to significant leakage of plaintext bytes from the ciphertext.

kernel/auditsc.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.5, when CONFIGAUDITSYSCALL is enabled with certain syscall rules, allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive single-bit values from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (OOPS) via a large value of a syscall number.

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's floppy driver handled user space provided data in certain error code paths while processing FDRAWCMD IOCTL commands. A local user with write access to /dev/fdX could use this flaw to free (using the kfree() function) arbitrary kernel memory. (CVE-2014-1737, Important) It was found that the Linux kernel's floppy driver leaked internal kernel memory addresses to user space during the processing of the FDRAWCMD IOCTL command. A local user with write access to /dev/fdX could use this flaw to obtain information about the kernel heap arrangement. (CVE-2014-1738, Low) Note: A local user with write access to /dev/fdX could use these two flaws (CVE-2014-1737 in combination with CVE-2014-1738) to escalate their privileges on the system.

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.

Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.5.31 and earlier and 5.6.11 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Server Replication.

Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 update 4 and earlier, 6 update 32 and earlier, 5 update 35 and earlier, and 1.4.237 and earlier allows local users to affect confidentiality via unknown vectors related to printing on Solaris or Linux.

Description of problem: The "mem" array used as scratch space for socket filters is not initialized, allowing unprivileged users to leak kernel stack bytes.

arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36.2 does not initialize certain structure members, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via read operations on the /dev/kvm device.

Description of problem: packetgetnamespkt() doesn't initialize all members of sadata field of sockaddr struct if strlen(dev->name) < 13. This structure is then copied to userland. It leads to leaking of contents of kernel stack memory. We have to fully fill sadata with strncpy() instead of strlcpy().

The same with packetgetname(): it doesn't initialize sllpkttype field of sockaddrll. Set it to zero.

Description of problem: The semctl syscall has several code paths that lead to the leakage of uninitialized kernel stack memory (namely the IPCINFO, SEMINFO, IPCSTAT, and SEMSTAT commands) during the use of the older, obsolete version of the semidds struct. The copysemidtouser() function declares a semidds struct on the stack and copies it back to the user without initializing or zeroing the 'sembase', 'sempending', 'sempendinglast', and 'undo' pointers, allowing the leakage of 16 bytes of kernel stack memory. The code is still reachable on 32-bit systems - when calling semctl() newer glibc's automatically OR the IPC command with the IPC64 flag, but invoking the syscall directly allows users to use the older versions of the struct.
