Updated openexr package fixes security vulnerabilities: It was discovered that makeMultiView.cpp in exrmultiview in OpenEXR 2.3.0 has an out-of-bounds write, leading to an assertion failure or possibly unspecified other impact (CVE-2018-18444).
Updated python packages fix security vulnerability: A 'file:' blacklist bypass in URIs by using the 'local-file:' scheme instead (CVE-2019-9948).
Updated sysstat package fix security vulnerabilities: Out-of-bounds read during a memmove call inside the remap_struct function (CVE-2018-19416).
Updated jasper packages fix security vulnerabilities: The jpc_floorlog2 function in jpc_math.c in JasPer before 1.900.17 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure) via unspecified vectors (CVE-2016-9398).
It was discovered that libsolv incorrectly handled certain malformed input. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, applications that rely on libsolv could be made to crash, resulting in a denial of service (CVE-2018-2053[2-4]).
The updated packages fix several bugs and some security issues: Font layout engine out of bounds access setCurrGlyphID(). (CVE-2019-2698) Slow conversion of BigDecimal to long. (CVE-2019-2602)
Garming Sam reported an out-of-bounds read in the ldb_wildcard_compare() function of ldb, resulting in denial of service (CVE-2019-3824). The ldb package has been updated to version 1.2.4 to fix this issue. The sssd and samba packages have been rebuilt against the updated ldb.
A remotely triggerable memory overwrite in RSA key exchange in PuTTY before 0.71 can occur before host key verification (CVE-2019-9894). In PuTTY versions before 0.71 on Unix, a remotely triggerable buffer overflow exists in any kind of server-to-client forwarding (CVE-2019-9895).
This update provides an update to the new Virtualbox 6.0 branch, currently 6.0.6. It also fixes the following security issues. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to compromise
A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in gpsd versions 2.90 to 3.17. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow remote code execution, data exfiltration, or denial-of service via device crash (CVE-2018-17937).
It was discovered that insufficient restrictions in the connection handling of Mumble, a low latency encrypted VoIP client, could result in denial of service (CVE-2018-20743). References:
Multiple xmlrpc call handlers in Koji’s hub code contain SQL injection bugs. By passing carefully constructed arguments to these calls, an unauthenticated user can issue arbitrary SQL commands to Koji’s database. This gives the attacker broad ability to manipulate or destroy data (CVE-2018-1002161).
It was discovered that the GPAC MP4Box utility incorrectly handled certain memory operations. If an user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted MP4 file, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause MP4Box to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code (CVE-2018-7752, CVE-2018-13005, CVE-2018-13006, CVE-2018-20760,
A vulnerability was found in Python 2.x through 2.7.16.

A specially
Vulnerability in the MariaDB Server component of MariaDB (subcomponent: Server: Optimizer). Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MariaDB Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MariaDB Server
An out-of-bounds read that leads to information disclosure. (CVE-2019-7108) A use after free that leads to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2019-7096) References:
