An improper handing of overflow in the UTF-8 decoder with supplementary characters can lead to an infinite loop in the decoder causing a Denial of Service (CVE-2018-1336). The defaults settings for the CORS filter are insecure and enable
Use after free flaw enabling arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2018-15982) Insecure Library Loading (DLL hijacking) flaw enabling privilege escalation. (CVE-2018-15983)
The HTML thumbnailer was incorrectly accessing some content of remote URLs listed in HTML files. This meant that the owners of the servers referred in HTML files in your system could have seen in their access logs your IP address every time the thumbnailer tried to create the thumbnail (CVE-2018-19120).
Some HTML emails can trick messagelib into opening a new browser window when displaying said email as HTML. This happens even if the option to allow the HTML emails to access remote servers is disabled in KMail settings. This means that the owners of the servers referred in the email can see in their access logs your IP address (CVE-2018-19516).
A flaw was found in mod_perl 2.0 through 2.0.10 which allows attackers to execute arbitrary Perl code by placing it in a user-owned .htaccess file, because (contrary to the documentation) there is no configuration option that permits Perl code for the administrator's control of HTTP request processing without also permitting unprivileged users to run
It was discovered that Requests incorrectly handled certain HTTP headers. An attacker could possibly use this issue to access sensitive information (CVE-2018-18074). References:
The kdeconnect-kde package has been updated to version 1.3.3, which fixes an issue with modern encryption algorithms being disabled with SSH, and also fixes several bugs and updates compatibility with the Android app.
Buffer overflows in URL auth code if there is a "mount" definition that enables URL authentication. A malicious client could send long HTTP headers, leading to a buffer overflow and potential remote code execution (CVE-2018-18820).
The SingleDocParser::HandleNode function in yaml-cpp (aka LibYaml-C++) 0.5.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and application crash) via a crafted YAML file. (CVE-2017-5950)
The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing algorithm to recover the private key. Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1a (Affected 1.1.1). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.0j (Affected 1.1.0-1.1.0i). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2q (Affected 1.0.2-1.0.2p). (CVE-2018-0734)
In libpng until version 1.6.35, a wrong calculation of row_factor in the png_check_chunk_length function (pngrutil.c) may trigger an integer overflow and resultant divide-by-zero while processing a crafted PNG file, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2018-13785)
Some easily exploitable vulnerabilities allowing high privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Server have been fixed. References:
A critical vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player 31.0.0.148 and earlier versions. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. (CVE-2018-15981) References:
In Poppler 0.68.0, the Parser::getObj() function in Parser.cc may cause infinite recursion via a crafted file. A remote attacker can leverage this for a DoS attack. (CVE-2018-16646) An issue was discovered in Poppler 0.71.0. There is a reachable abort in
The ghostscript 9.26 update is focusing on security issues, including solving several (well publicised) real and potential exploits. For other fixes in this release, see the referenced News.
This is a service release to update the stable version 1.3 of Roundcube Webmail. It contains fixes to several bugs backported from the master branch including a security fix for a reported XSS vulnerability (in handling invalid style tag content) plus updates to ensure compatibility with PHP 7.3 and recent versions of Courier-IMAP, Dovecot and MySQL 8
An issue was discovered in GNU gettext 0.19.8. There is a double free in default_add_message in read-catalog.c, related to an invalid free in po_gram_parse in po-gram-gen.y, as demonstrated by lt-msgfmt. (CVE-2018-18751)
Assertion failure in BPMDetect class in BPMDetect.cpp (CVE-2018-17096). Out-of-bounds heap write in WavOutFile::write() (CVE-2018-17097). Heap corruption in WavFileBase class in WavFile.cpp (CVE-2018-17098). References:
It was discovered that mishandled search requests in servers/slapd/search.c:do_search() in 389-ds-base allows for denial of service (CVE-2018-14648). References:
mod_authnz_ldap, if configured with AuthLDAPCharsetConfig, uses the Accept-Language header value to lookup the right charset encoding when verifying the user's credentials. If the header value is not present in the charset conversion table, a fallback mechanism is used to truncate it to a two characters value to allow a quick retry (for example,
