The Traffic Router component of the incubating Apache Traffic Control project is vulnerable to a Slowloris style Denial of Service attack. TCP connections made on the configured DNS port will remain in the ESTABLISHED state until the client explicitly closes the connection or Traffic Router is restarted. If connections remain in the ESTABLISHED state indefinitely and accumulate in number to match the size of the thread pool dedicated to processing DNS requests, the thread pool becomes exhausted. Once the thread pool is exhausted, Traffic Router is unable to service any DNS request, regardless of transport protocol.

A vulnerability in Cisco WebEx Meetings Server could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is due to insufficient limitations on the number of connections that can be made to the affected software. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by opening multiple connections to the server and exhausting server resources. A successful exploit could cause the server to reload, resulting in a DoS condition. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvf41006.
When GraphicsMagick 1.3.25 processes a DPX image (with metadata indicating a large width) in coders/dpx.c, a denial of service (OOM) can occur in ReadDPXImage().
An exploitable denial of service exists in the Joyent SmartOS 20161110T013148Z Hyprlofs file system. The vulnerability is present in the Ioctl system call with the command HYPRLOFS_ADD_ENTRIES. An attacker can cause a buffer to be allocated and never freed. When repeatedly exploited this will result in memory exhaustion, resulting in a full system denial of service.
ImageMagick: Memory exhaustion in ReadVIFFImage function in coders/viff.c
The ReadVIFFImage function in coders/viff.c in ImageMagick 7.0.6-6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted VIFF file.
ImageMagick: Memory exhaustion in ReadBMPImage function in coders/bmp.c in ImageMagick
The ReadBMPImage function in coders/bmp.c in ImageMagick 7.0.6-6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted BMP file.
Specially crafted packets sent to port 161/udp could cause a denial of service condition. The affected devices must be restarted manually.
The "process-execute" and "process-spawn" procedures did not free memory correctly when the execve() call failed, resulting in a memory leak. This could be abused by an attacker to cause resource exhaustion or a denial of service. This affects all releases of CHICKEN up to and including 4.11 (it will be fixed in 4.12 and 5.0, which are not yet released).
ImageMagick: Resource exhaustion in WritePixelCachePixels function in coders/xcf.c
The WritePixelCachePixels function in ImageMagick 7.0.6-6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted file.
disp+work 7400.12.21.30308 in SAP NetWeaver 7.40 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via a crafted DIAG request, aka SAP Security Note 2405918.
Knot DNS before 2.3.0 allows remote DNS servers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion and slave server crash) via a large zone transfer for (1) DDNS, (2) AXFR, or (3) IXFR.
libtiff: Memory leak in the TIFFReadDirEntryLong8Array function
In LibTIFF 4.0.7, the TIFFReadDirEntryLong8Array function in libtiff/tif_dirread.c mishandles a malloc operation, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory leak within the function _TIFFmalloc in tif_unix.c) via a crafted file.
ImageMagick: Memory leak in psd file handling
Memory leak in the ReadPSDLayers function in coders/psd.c in ImageMagick before 6.9.6-3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted image file.
ImageMagick: Memory leak in XML file transversal
Memory leak in the NewXMLTree function in magick/xml-tree.c in ImageMagick before 6.9.4-7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted XML file.
nodejs-semver: npm Regular Expression Denial of Service during package versions parsing
The semver package before 4.3.2 for Node.js allows attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a long version string, aka a "regular expression denial of service (ReDoS)."
kibana: Resource exhaustion via file descriptors clean up failure
Kibana versions prior to 5.2.1 configured for SSL client access, file descriptors will fail to be cleaned up after certain requests and will accumulate over time until the process crashes.
ntp: stack exhaustion in recursive traversal of restriction list
NTP before 4.2.8p6 and 4.3.0 before 4.3.90 allows a remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack exhaustion) via an ntpdc relist command, which triggers recursive traversal of the restriction list.
nodejs: unspecified DoS vulnerability
Node.js 4.0.0, 4.1.0, and 4.1.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service.
gnutls: Out of memory while parsing crafted OpenPGP certificate
The stream reading functions in lib/opencdk/read-packet.c in GnuTLS before 3.3.26 and 3.5.x before 3.5.8 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-memory error and crash) via a crafted OpenPGP certificate.
ImageMagick: Infinite loop in the ReadWPGImage function
ImageMagick 7.0.6-6 has a large loop vulnerability in ReadWPGImage in coders/wpg.c, causing CPU exhaustion via a crafted wpg image file.
