Qemu: display: vmsvga: infinite loop in vmsvga_fifo_run() routine

The vmsvga_fifo_run function in hw/display/vmware_vga.c in QEMU allows local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and QEMU process crash) via a VGA command.

qemu: incorrect banked access bounds checking in vga module

The VGA module in QEMU improperly performs bounds checking on banked access to video memory, which allows local guest OS administrators to execute arbitrary code on the host by changing access modes after setting the bank register, aka the "Dark Portal" issue.

An issue was discovered in Apport before 2.20.4. In apport/ui.py, Apport reads the CrashDB field and it then evaluates the field as Python code if it begins with a "{". This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Python code.

chromium-browser: Heap-buffer-overflow in expat.

Multiple integer overflows in the XML_GetBuffer function in Expat through 2.1.0, as used in Google Chrome before 44.0.2403.89 and other products, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted XML data, a related issue to CVE-2015-2716.

chromium-browser: various unspecified flaws

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Google Chrome before 42.0.2311.135 allow attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have other impact via unknown vectors.

kernel: Race condition in packet_set_ring leads to use after free

Race condition in net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel through 4.8.12 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging the CAP_NET_RAW capability to change a socket version, related to the packet_set_ring and packet_setsockopt functions.

chromium-browser: Various fixes from internal audits, fuzzing and other initiatives

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Google Chrome before 42.0.2311.90 allow attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have other impact via unknown vectors.

chromium-browser: HSTS bypass in WebSockets

The URLRequest::GetHSTSRedirect function in url_request/url_request.cc in Google Chrome before 42.0.2311.90 does not replace the ws scheme with the wss scheme whenever an HSTS Policy is active, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by sniffing the network for WebSocket traffic.

kernel: media: use-after-free in [tuner-xc2028] media driver

The xc2028_set_config function in drivers/media/tuners/tuner-xc2028.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via vectors involving omission of the firmware name from a certain data structure.

squid: buffer overrun in Squid proxy pinger

Heap-based buffer overflow in the Icmp6::Recv function in icmp/Icmp6.cc in the pinger utility in Squid before 3.5.16 and 4.x before 4.0.8 allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (performance degradation or transition failures) or write sensitive information to log files via an ICMPv6 packet.

chromium-browser: use-after-free in DOM

Use-after-free vulnerability in the MutationObserver::disconnect function in core/dom/MutationObserver.cpp in the DOM implementation in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 42.0.2311.135, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering an attempt to unregister a MutationObserver object that is not currently registered.

chromium-browser: Type confusion in V8

The ReduceTransitionElementsKind function in hydrogen-check-elimination.cc in Google V8 before 4.2.77.8, as used in Google Chrome before 42.0.2311.90, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code that leverages "type confusion" in the check-elimination optimization.

chromium-browser: tap-jacking vulnerability

Google Chrome before 42.0.2311.90 does not properly consider the interaction of page navigation with the handling of touch events and gesture events, which allows remote attackers to trigger unintended UI actions via a crafted web site that conducts a "tapjacking" attack.

chromium-browser: Out-of-bounds read in WebGL

gpu/blink/webgraphicscontext3d_impl.cc in the WebGL implementation in Google Chrome before 42.0.2311.90 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted WebGL program that triggers a state inconsistency.

systemd: Assertion failure when PID 1 receives a zero-length message over notify socket

The manager_invoke_notify_message function in systemd 231 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and PID 1 hang) via a zero-length message received over a notify socket.

python-django: user with hardcoded password created when running tests on Oracle

Django 1.8.x before 1.8.16, 1.9.x before 1.9.11, and 1.10.x before 1.10.3 use a hardcoded password for a temporary database user created when running tests with an Oracle database, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access to the database server by leveraging failure to manually specify a password in the database settings TEST dictionary.

chromium-browser: Out-of-bounds write in Skia

Skia, as used in Google Chrome before 42.0.2311.90, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.

libtasn1: infinite loop while parsing DER certificates

The _asn1_extract_der_octet function in lib/decoding.c in GNU Libtasn1 before 4.8, when used without the ASN1_DECODE_FLAG_STRICT_DER flag, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion) via a crafted certificate.

chromium-browser: Use-after-free in IPC

Use-after-free vulnerability in the RenderFrameImpl::OnMessageReceived function in content/renderer/render_frame_impl.cc in Google Chrome before 42.0.2311.90 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors that trigger renderer IPC messages during a detach operation.

file-roller: Path traversal vulnerability when opening crafted archive

The _g_file_remove_directory function in file-utils.c in File Roller 3.5.4 through 3.20.2 allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a folder in an archive.
