Debian Linux Security Advisory 5411-1 - Multiple issues were found in GPAC multimedia framework, which could result in denial of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6109-1 - Zheng Wang discovered that the Intel i915 graphics driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a double-free. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. Jordy Zomer and Alexandra Sandulescu discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly implement speculative execution barriers in usercopy functions in certain situations. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information.

c-ares is an asynchronous resolver library. ares_inet_net_pton() is vulnerable to a buffer underflow for certain ipv6 addresses, in particular "0::00:00:00/2" was found to cause an issue. C-ares only uses this function internally for configuration purposes which would require an administrator to configure such an address via ares_set_sortlist(). However, users may externally use ares_inet_net_pton() for other purposes and thus be vulnerable to more severe issues. This issue has been fixed in 1.19.1.

Those using HtmlUnit to browse untrusted webpages may be vulnerable to Denial of service attacks (DoS). If HtmlUnit is running on user supplied web pages, an attacker may supply content that causes HtmlUnit to crash by a stack overflow. This effect may support a denial of service attack. This issue affects HtmlUnit before 2.70.0.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6108-1 - It was discovered that Jhead did not properly handle certain crafted images while rotating them. An attacker could possibly use this issue to crash Jhead, resulting in a denial of service. Kyle Brown discovered that Jhead did not properly handle certain crafted images while regenerating the Exif thumbnail. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary commands.
