A new exploitation technique called key reinstallation attacks used to break Wi-Fi handshakes that negotiate session keys was discovered. These attacks target the Wi-Fi/WPA2 standard. An adversary can trick a client or Access Point (AP) into reinstalling an already-in use pairwise key in 4-way handshake. While reinstalling the already in-use key, the associated packet number (sometimes also called nonce) and receive replay counter is reset. This causes nonce reuse, voiding any security the underlying encryption protocol is supposed to provide. For example, it allows decryption or injection of frames, and enables an attacker to replay frames.

Integer overflow in the emulatedapdufromguest function in usb/dev-smartcard-reader.c in Quick Emulator (Qemu), when built with the CCID Card device emulator support, allows local users to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a large Application Protocol Data Units (APDU) unit.

The (1) HTTP and (2) FTP coders in ImageMagick before 6.9.3-10 and 7.x before 7.0.1-1 allow remote attackers to conduct server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks via a crafted image.

The EPHEMERAL coder in ImageMagick before 6.9.3-10 and 7.x before 7.0.1-1 allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary files via a crafted image.

Oracle Java SE 6u105, 7u91 and 8u65 fixes an unspecified vulnerability in the Deployment component (CVE-2015-4902). Upstream has CVSSv2 scored this issue as: 5.0/AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

It was reported [1] that the gdImageCreateFromXpm() function in libgd could dereference a NULL pointer, noting:

"The call to strlen() parses image.colorTable[i].ccolor which is initialised as NULL if the particular color mapping uses a different key (such as monochrome/monovisual)."

This was reported against PHP, which includes an embedded copy of the gd library. CVE-2014-2497 was assigned to this issue [2].

The (1) WebGL.compressedTexImage2D and (2) WebGL.compressedTexSubImage2D functions in Mozilla Firefox before 28.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.25 allow remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and render content in a different domain via unspecified vectors.

Mozilla Firefox before 28.0 on Android allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and access arbitrary file: URLs via vectors involving the "Open Link in New Tab" menu selection.

Mozilla Firefox before 28.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.25 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption and application hang) via onbeforeunload events that trigger background JavaScript execution.

Mozilla Firefox before 28.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.25 allow remote attackers to spoof the domain name in the WebRTC (1) camera or (2) microphone permission prompt by triggering navigation at a certain time during generation of this prompt.

The crypto.generateCRMFRequest method in Mozilla Firefox before 28.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.25 does not properly validate a certain key type, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via vectors that trigger generation of a key that supports the Elliptic Curve ec-dual-use algorithm.

Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.15.4, as used in Mozilla Firefox before 27.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.3, Thunderbird before 24.3, SeaMonkey before 2.24, and other products, does not properly restrict public values in Diffie-Hellman key exchanges, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass cryptographic protection mechanisms in ticket handling by leveraging use of a certain value.

Mozilla Firefox before 27.0 does not properly restrict access to about:home buttons by script on other pages, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (session restore) via a crafted web site.

Mozilla Firefox before 27.0 on Android 4.2 and earlier creates system-log entries containing profile paths, which allows attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted application.

Mozilla Firefox before 27.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.24 allow remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and obtain sensitive information by using an IFRAME element in conjunction with certain timing measurements involving the document.caretPositionFromPoint and document.elementFromPoint functions.

The file-download implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 27.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.24 does not properly restrict the timing of button selections, which allows remote attackers to conduct clickjacking attacks, and trigger unintended launching of a downloaded file, via a crafted web site.

Mozilla Firefox before 26.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.2, Thunderbird before 24.2, and SeaMonkey before 2.23 do not recognize a user's removal of trust from an EV X.509 certificate, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers in opportunistic circumstances via a valid certificate that is unacceptable to the user.

Mozilla Firefox before 26.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.23 on Linux allow user-assisted remote attackers to read clipboard data by leveraging certain middle-click paste operations.

nfsd in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28.9 does not drop the CAPMKNOD capability before handling a user request in a thread, which allows local users to create device nodes, as demonstrated on a filesystem that has been exported with the rootsquash option.

The PNG reference library (aka libpng) before 1.0.43, and 1.2.x before 1.2.35, as used in pngcrush and other applications, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PNG file that triggers a free of an uninitialized pointer in (1) the pngreadpng function, (2) pCAL chunk handling, or (3) setup of 16-bit gamma tables.

As per the upstream advisory:

By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an OpenSSL DTLS client, the code can be made to recurse, eventually crashing in a DoS attack.

Only applications using OpenSSL as a DTLS client are affected.

OpenSSL 0.9.8 DTLS users should upgrade to 0.9.8za OpenSSL 1.0.0 DTLS users should upgrade to 1.0.0m. OpenSSL 1.0.1 DTLS users should upgrade to 1.0.1h. .

The ntpq saveconfig command in NTP 4.1.2, 4.2.x before 4.2.8p6, 4.3, 4.3.25, 4.3.70, and 4.3.77 does not properly filter special characters, which allows attackers to cause unspecified impact via a crafted filename.

The dossl3write function in s3pkt.c in OpenSSL 1.x through 1.0.1g, when SSLMODERELEASEBUFFERS is enabled, does not properly manage a buffer pointer during certain recursive calls, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via vectors that trigger an alert condition.

As per the upstream advisory:

OpenSSL TLS clients enabling anonymous ECDH ciphersuites are subject to a denial of service attack.

OpenSSL 1.0.0 users should upgrade to 1.0.0m. OpenSSL 1.0.1 users should upgrade to 1.0.1h.
