With about one week to go before we all gather at Black Hat in Las Vegas, we’re getting inquiries about precisely how the promised Live Mitigation Bypass Bounty judging at Black Hat will work. For most of the world, it works best when you get a good spot at the Microsoft booth (#301) around noon each day, so you can clearly see the excitement as some of security’s best and brightest look to pop built-in Windows 8.

Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.5.30 and earlier and 5.6.10 allows remote authenticated users to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Server Options.

The global adoption of computing continues to draw attackers toward ever-richer targets. The latest data from the Microsoft Security Intelligence Report shows that although industry-wide vulnerability disclosures are down (and computer defenses are improved), exploit activity has actually increased in many parts of the world. See the Microsoft Security Intelligent Report (SIR) v14 for more details.

Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL 5.1.67 and earlier, 5.5.29 and earlier, and 5.6.10 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Information Schema.

The WebGL subsystem in Mozilla Firefox before 20.0, Firefox ESR 17.x before 17.0.5, Thunderbird before 17.0.5, Thunderbird ESR 17.x before 17.0.5, and SeaMonkey before 2.17 on Linux does not properly interact with Mesa drivers, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (free of unallocated memory) via unspecified vectors.

Unspecified vulnerability in the MySQL Server component in Oracle MySQL 5.1.64 and earlier, and 5.5.26 and earlier, allows remote authenticated users to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Information Schema.

Integer overflow in the rsCStrExtendBuf function in runtime/stringbuf.c in the imfile module in rsyslog 4.x before 4.6.6, 5.x before 5.7.4, and 6.x before 6.1.4 allows local users to cause a denial of service (daemon hang) via a large file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in the pthread_win32_process_attach_np function in pthreadGC2.dll in Pthreads-win32 2.8.0 allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse quserex.dll file in the current working directory. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in msg_server.exe in SAP NetWeaver ABAP 7.x allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and execute arbitrary code via a (1) long parameter value, (2) crafted string size field, or (3) long Parameter Name string in a package with opcode 0x43 and sub opcode 0x4 to TCP port 3900.
