uBlock, a Firefox add-on and efficient ads, malware and trackers blocker, supported an arbitrary depth of parameter nesting for strict blocking, which allows crafted web sites to cause a denial of service (unbounded recursion that can trigger memory consumption and a loss of all blocking functionality).

Bottle, which is a fast, simple and lightweight WSGI micro web-framework for Pytho, mishandles errors during early request binding.
It was discovered that the Debian package of Avahi, a framework for Multicast DNS Service Discovery, executed the script avahi-daemon-check-dns.sh with root privileges which would allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service or create arbitrary empty files via a symlink attack on files under
Several security vulnerabilities were found in glib2.0, a general-purpose utility library for the GNOME environment. CVE-2021-27218
An issue was discovered in Pidgin before 2.14.9. A remote attacker who can spoof DNS responses can redirect a client connection to a malicious server. The client will perform TLS certificate verification of the malicious domain name instead of the original
