ffjpeg through 2020-02-24 has an invalid read in jfif_encode in jfif.c.
ffjpeg through 2020-02-24 has a heap-based buffer over-read in jfif_decode in jfif.c.
ffjpeg through 2020-02-24 has an invalid write in bmp_load in bmp.c.
In Cherokee through 1.2.104, remote attackers can trigger an out-of-bounds write in cherokee_handler_cgi_add_env_pair in handler_cgi.c by sending many request headers, as demonstrated by a GET request with many "Host: 127.0.0.1" headers.
In affected Ops Manager versions there is an exposed http route was that may allow attackers to view a specific access log of a publicly exposed Ops Manager instance. This issue affects: MongoDB Inc. MongoDB Ops Manager 4.0 versions 4.0.9, 4.0.10 and MongoDB Ops Manager 4.1 version 4.1.5.
tcprewrite in Tcpreplay through 4.3.2 has a heap-based buffer over-read during a get_c operation. The issue is being triggered in the function get_ipv6_next() at common/get.c.
An array overflow was discovered in mt76_add_fragment in drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/dma.c in the Linux kernel before 5.5.10, aka CID-b102f0c522cf. An oversized packet with too many rx fragments can corrupt memory of adjacent pages.
Apport creates a world writable lock file with root ownership in the world writable /var/lock/apport directory. If the apport/ directory does not exist (this is not uncommon as /var/lock is a tmpfs), it will create the directory, otherwise it will simply continue execution using the existing directory. This allows for a symlink attack if an attacker were to create a symlink at /var/lock/apport, changing apport's lock file location. This file could then be used to escalate privileges, for example. Fixed in versions 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.23, 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.14, 2.20.11-0ubuntu8.8 and 2.20.11-0ubuntu22.
The fix for the Linux kernel in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS for CVE-2019-14615 ("The Linux kernel did not properly clear data structures on context switches for certain Intel graphics processors.") was discovered to be incomplete, meaning that in versions of the kernel before 4.15.0-91.92, an attacker could use this vulnerability to expose sensitive information.
KVM in the Linux kernel on Power8 processors has a conflicting use of HSTATE_HOST_R1 to store r1 state in kvmppc_hv_entry plus in kvmppc_{save,restore}_tm, leading to a stack corruption. Because of this, an attacker with the ability run code in kernel space of a guest VM can cause the host kernel to panic. There were two commits that, according to the reporter, introduced the vulnerability: f024ee098476 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Pull out TM state save/restore into separate procedures") 87a11bb6a7f7 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Work around XER[SO] bug in fake suspend mode") The former landed in 4.8, the latter in 4.17. This was fixed without realizing the impact in 4.18 with the following three commits, though it's believed the first is the only strictly necessary commit: 6f597c6b63b6 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Add guest MSR parameter for kvmppc_save_tm()/kvmppc_restore_tm()") 7b0e827c6970 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Factor fake-suspend handling out of kvmppc_save/restore_tm") 009c872a8bc4 ("KVM: PPC: Bo...
