CVE-2018-14379: security - Type confusion in MP4v2 2.0.0

MP4Atom::factory in mp4atom.cpp in MP4v2 2.0.0 incorrectly uses the MP4ItemAtom data type in a certain case where MP4DataAtom is required, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted MP4 file, because access to the data structure has different expectations about layout as a result of this type confusion.

Analysis and mitigation of speculative store bypass (CVE-2018-3639)

In January, 2018, Microsoft published an advisory and security updates for a new class of hardware vulnerabilities involving speculative execution side channels (known as Spectre and Meltdown). In this blog post, we will provide a technical analysis of an additional subclass of speculative execution side channel vulnerability known as Speculative Store Bypass (SSB) which has been assigned CVE-2018-3639.

CVE-2017-2840: TALOS-2017-0342 || Cisco Talos Intelligence Group

A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the ISO parsing functionality of EZB Systems UltraISO 9.6.6.3300. A specially crafted .ISO file can cause a vulnerability resulting in potential code execution. An attacker can provide a specific .ISO file to trigger this vulnerability.

CVE-2016-8730: TALOS-2016-0244 || Cisco Talos Intelligence Group

An of bound write / memory corruption vulnerability exists in the GIF parsing functionality of Core PHOTO-PAINT X8 18.1.0.661. A specially crafted GIF file can cause a vulnerability resulting in potential memory corruption resulting in code execution. An attacker can send the victim a specific GIF file to trigger this vulnerability.

CVE-2016-9043: TALOS-2016-0261 || Cisco Talos Intelligence Group

An out of bound write vulnerability exists in the EMF parsing functionality of CorelDRAW X8 (CdrGfx - Corel Graphics Engine (64-Bit) - 18.1.0.661). A specially crafted EMF file can cause a vulnerability resulting in potential code execution. An attacker can send the victim a specific EMF file to trigger this vulnerability.

CVE-2018-9240: #894724 - ncmpc: CVE-2018-9240: Crash in chat screen when another client sends a long line

ncmpc through 0.29 is prone to a NULL pointer dereference flaw. If a user uses the chat screen and another client sends a long chat message, a crash and denial of service could occur.

Mitigating speculative execution side channel hardware vulnerabilities

On January 3rd, 2018, Microsoft released an advisory and security updates related to a newly discovered class of hardware vulnerabilities involving speculative execution side channels (known as Spectre and Meltdown) that affect AMD, ARM, and Intel CPUs to varying degrees. If you haven’t had a chance to learn about these issues, we recommend watching The Case of Spectre and Meltdown by the team at TU Graz from BlueHat Israel, reading the blog post by Jann Horn (@tehjh) of Google Project Zero, or reading the FOSDEM 2018 presentation by Jon Masters of Red Hat.

CVE-2017-18202

The __oom_reap_task_mm function in mm/oom_kill.c in the Linux kernel before 4.14.4 mishandles gather operations, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (TLB entry leak or use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a copy_to_user call within a certain time window.

CVE-2017-18079

drivers/input/serio/i8042.c in the Linux kernel before 4.12.4 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact because the port->exists value can change after it is validated.
