kernel: kvm: device assignment DoS

The kvm_vm_ioctl_assign_device function in virt/kvm/assigned-dev.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.1.10 does not verify permission to access PCI configuration space and BAR resources, which allows host OS users to assign PCI devices and cause a denial of service (host OS crash) via a KVM_ASSIGN_PCI_DEVICE operation.

RealVNC VNC 5.0.6 on Mac OS X, Linux, and UNIX allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted argument to the (1) vncserver, (2) vncserver-x11, or (3) Xvnc helper.

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.

SAP Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) 15.0.3 before 15.0.3 ESD#4.3, 15.5 before 15.5 ESD#5.3, and 15.7 before 15.7 SP50 or 15.7 SP100 allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors.

WebYaST 1.3 uses weak permissions for config/initializers/secret_token.rb, which allows local users to gain privileges by reading the Rails secret token from this file.

The BlackBerry Universal Device Service in BlackBerry Enterprise Service (BES) 10.0 through 10.1.2 does not properly restrict access to the JBoss Remote Method Invocation (RMI) interface, which allows remote attackers to upload and execute arbitrary packages via a request to port 1098.

BlackBerry 10 OS before 10.0.10.648 on BlackBerry Z10 smartphones uses weak permissions for a BlackBerry Protect object, which allows physically proximate attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging a user's BlackBerry Protect password-reset request and a user's installation of a crafted application.

Mozilla: Privileged access for content level constructor (MFSA 2013-42)

The Chrome Object Wrapper (COW) implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 21.0, Firefox ESR 17.x before 17.0.6, Thunderbird before 17.0.6, and Thunderbird ESR 17.x before 17.0.6 does not prevent acquisition of chrome privileges during calls to content level constructors, which allows remote attackers to bypass certain read-only restrictions and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted web site.

rpm: fails to drop SUID/SGID bits on package removal

lib/fsm.c in RPM before 4.4.3 does not properly reset the metadata of an executable file during deletion of the file in an RPM package removal, which might allow local users to gain privileges by creating a hard link to a vulnerable (1) setuid or (2) setgid file, a related issue to CVE-2010-2059.

gnome-power-manager: Screen not locked on resume from hibernate / suspend

gnome-power-manager 2.14.0 does not properly implement the lock_on_suspend and lock_on_hibernate settings for locking the screen when the suspend or hibernate button is pressed, which might make it easier for physically proximate attackers to access an unattended laptop via a resume action, a related issue to CVE-2010-2532.

The Image Viewer component in IBM FileNet P8 Application Engine (P8AE) 3.5.1 before 3.5.1-002 removes a user from an ACL when the user is denied all permissions for an annotation, which might allow remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions in opportunistic circumstances.

The Workplace (aka WP) component in IBM FileNet P8 Application Engine (P8AE) 3.5.1 before 3.5.1-001 does not ensure that the AE Administrator role is present for Site Preferences modifications, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions via unspecified vectors.

GRMGApp in SAP NetWeaver allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via unspecified vectors.

brltty: insecure relative RPATH

Untrusted search path vulnerability in libbrlttybba.so in brltty 3.7.2 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted library, related to an incorrect RPATH setting.

Kernel/System/Web/Request.pm in Open Ticket Request System (OTRS) before 2.3.2 creates a directory under /tmp/ with 1274 permissions, which might allow local users to bypass intended access restrictions via standard filesystem operations, related to incorrect interpretation of 0700 as a decimal value.

Open Ticket Request System (OTRS) before 2.3.0-beta4 checks for the rw permission, instead of the configured merge permission, during authorization of merge operations, which might allow remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions by merging two tickets.

The CustomerInterface component in Open Ticket Request System (OTRS) before 2.2.8 allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions and access tickets of arbitrary customers via unspecified vectors.

Kernel/Output/HTML/CustomerNewTicketQueueSelectionGeneric.pm in Open Ticket Request System (OTRS) before 2.2.6, when the CustomerPanelOwnSelection and CustomerGroupSupport options are enabled, allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions, and perform certain (1) list and (2) write operations on queues, via unspecified vectors.

Open Ticket Request System (OTRS) before 2.2.6, when customer group support is enabled, allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions and perform web-interface updates to tickets by leveraging queue read permissions.

firefox: unable to restrict modifications to cookies in HTTPS sessions due to loack of HSTS support

Mozilla Firefox before 4 cannot properly restrict modifications to cookies established in HTTPS sessions, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to overwrite or delete arbitrary cookies via a Set-Cookie header in an HTTP response, related to lack of the HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) includeSubDomains feature, aka a "cookie forcing" issue.
