The signature-update functionality in Windows Defender on Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 relies on an incorrect pathname, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse application in the %SYSTEMDRIVE% top-level directory, aka "Microsoft Windows 7 Defender Improper Pathname Vulnerability."

kernel: xen: potential use of freed memory in event channel operations

Xen 4.2.x, 4.1.x, and earlier, when the hypervisor is running "under memory pressure" and the Xen Security Module (XSM) is enabled, uses the wrong ordering of operations when extending the per-domain event channel tracking table, which causes a use-after-free and allows local guest kernels to inject arbitrary events and gain privileges via unspecified vectors.

kvm: qemu-nbd block format auto-detection vulnerability

qemu-nbd in QEMU, as used in Xen 4.2.x, determines the format of a raw disk image based on the header, which allows local guest OS administrators to read arbitrary files on the host by modifying the header to identify a different format, which is used when the guest is restarted, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-2004.

The Chaos Tool Suite (ctools) module 7.x-1.x before 7.x-1.3 for Drupal does not properly restrict node access, which allows remote authenticated users with the "access content" permission to read restricted node titles via an autocomplete list.

xorg-x11-server: Information disclosure due enabling events from hot-plug devices despite input from the device being momentarily disabled

X.Org X server before 1.13.4 and 1.4.x before 1.14.1 does not properly restrict access to input events when adding a new hot-plug device, which might allow physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information, as demonstrated by reading passwords from a tty.

The create_user_ns function in kernel/user_namespace.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.6 does not check whether a chroot directory exists that differs from the namespace root directory, which allows local users to bypass intended filesystem restrictions via a crafted clone system call.

The clone_mnt function in fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.6 does not properly restrict changes to the MNT_READONLY flag, which allows local users to bypass an intended read-only property of a filesystem by leveraging a separate mount namespace.

The scm_check_creds function in net/core/scm.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.6 does not properly enforce capability requirements for controlling the PID value associated with a UNIX domain socket, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging the time interval during which a user namespace has been created but a PID namespace has not been created.

kernel/user_namespace.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.9 does not have appropriate capability requirements for the uid_map and gid_map files, which allows local users to gain privileges by opening a file within an unprivileged process and then modifying the file within a privileged process.

VMware vCenter Server 5.1 before Update 1, when anonymous LDAP binding for Active Directory is enabled, allows remote attackers to bypass authentication by providing a valid username in conjunction with an empty password.

xen: grant table hypercall acquire/release imbalance

Xen 4.0.x and 4.1.x incorrectly releases a grant reference when releasing a non-v1, non-transitive grant, which allows local guest administrators to cause a denial of service (host crash), obtain sensitive information, or possibly have other impacts via unspecified vectors.

openstack-keystone: Insecure management of LDAP and admin_token configuration file values

OpenStack devstack uses world-readable permissions for keystone.conf, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information such as the LDAP password and admin_token secret by reading the file.

The aaa_base package before 11.3-8.9.1 in SUSE openSUSE 11.3, and before 11.4-54.62.1 in openSUSE 11.4, allows local users to gain privileges via shell metacharacters in a filename, related to tab expansion.

gypsy: multiple vulnerabilities

gypsy 0.8 does not properly restrict the files that can be read while running with root privileges, which allows local users to read otherwise restricted files via unspecified vectors.

Puppet 2.6.0 through 2.6.3 does not properly restrict access to node resources, which allows remote authenticated Puppet nodes to read or modify the resources of other nodes via unspecified vectors.

Server: use of insecure LD_LIBRARY_PATH settings

The (1) backup and restore scripts, (2) main initialization script, and (3) ldap-agent script in 389 Directory Server 1.2.x (aka Red Hat Directory Server 8.2.x) place a zero-length directory name in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse shared library in the current working directory.

Open Ticket Request System (OTRS) before 2.3.5 does not properly disable hidden permissions, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended queue access restrictions in opportunistic circumstances by visiting a ticket, related to a certain ordering of permission-set and permission-remove operations involving both hidden permissions and other permissions.

The ACL-customer-status Ticket Type setting in Open Ticket Request System (OTRS) before 3.0.0-beta1 does not restrict the ticket options after an AJAX reload, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended ACL restrictions on the (1) Status, (2) Service, and (3) Queue via selections.

The customer-interface ticket-print dialog in Open Ticket Request System (OTRS) before 3.0.0-beta3 does not properly restrict customer-visible data, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain potentially sensitive information from the (1) responsible, (2) owner, (3) accounted time, (4) pending until, and (5) lock fields by reading this dialog.

Smarty before 3.0.0, when security is enabled, does not prevent access to the (1) dynamic and (2) private object members of an assigned object, which has unspecified impact and remote attack vectors.
