OpenPLC WebServer version 3 suffers from a denial of service vulnerability.

libcue provides an API for parsing and extracting data from CUE sheets. Versions 2.2.1 and prior are vulnerable to out-of-bounds array access. A user of the GNOME desktop environment can be exploited by downloading a cue sheet from a malicious webpage. Because the file is saved to `~/Downloads`, it is then automatically scanned by tracker-miners. And because it has a .cue filename extension, tracker-miners use libcue to parse the file. The file exploits the vulnerability in libcue to gain code execution.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6421-1 - It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled certain control channel messages. A remote attacker with access to the control channel could possibly use this issue to cause Bind to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
