Tavis Ormandy discovered that gnupg was incorrectly using the stack. If a user were tricked into processing a specially crafted message, an attacker could execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges.
A heap overflow was discovered in the OLE processing code in libgsf. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted OLE document, an attacker could execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges.
A buffer overflow was discovered in the Real Media input plugin in xine-lib. If a user were tricked into loading a specially crafted stream from a malicious server, the attacker could execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges.
A buffer overflow was discovered in the PostScript processor included in evince. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted PS file, an attacker could crash evince or execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges.
A buffer overflow was discovered in GnuPG. By tricking a user into running gpg interactively on a specially crafted message, an attacker could execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges. This vulnerability is not exposed when running gpg in batch mode.
Daniel Kobras discovered multiple buffer overflows in ImageMagick's SGI file format decoder. By tricking a user or an automated system into processing a specially crafted SGI image, this could be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges.
