Debian Linux Security Advisory 3303-1 – It was discovered that the texttopdf utility, part of cups-filters, was susceptible to multiple heap-based buffer overflows due to improper handling of print jobs with a specially crafted line size. This could allow remote attackers to crash texttopdf or possibly execute arbitrary code.

HP Security Bulletin HPSBMU03234 1 – A potential security vulnerability has been identified with HP Vertica running SSLv3. This is the SSLv3 vulnerability known as “Padding Oracle on Downgraded Legacy Encryption” also known as “Poodle”, which could be exploited remotely to allow disclosure of information. Revision 1 of this advisory.

Ubuntu Security Notice 2666-1 – A race condition was discovered in the Linux kernel’s file_handle size verification. A local user could exploit this flaw to read potentially sensitive memory locations. A underflow error was discovered in the Linux kernel’s Ozmo Devices USB over WiFi host controller driver. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash) or potentially execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted packet. Various other issues were also addressed.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 3302-1 – Insufficient input sanitising in libwmf, a library to process Windows metafile data, may result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed WMF file is opened.

Ubuntu Security Notice 2668-1 – It was discovered that HAProxy incorrectly handled certain buffers. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information belonging to previous requests.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-1211-01 – The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. It was found that the Linux kernel’s implementation of vectored pipe read and write functionality did not take into account the I/O vectors that were already processed when retrying after a failed atomic access operation, potentially resulting in memory corruption due to an I/O vector array overrun. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system.

Ubuntu Security Notice 2664-1 – A race condition was discovered in the Linux kernel’s file_handle size verification. A local user could exploit this flaw to read potentially sensitive memory locations. A underflow error was discovered in the Linux kernel’s Ozmo Devices USB over WiFi host controller driver. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash) or potentially execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted packet. Various other issues were also addressed.

Ubuntu Security Notice 2663-1 – Alexandre Oliva reported a race condition flaw in the btrfs file system’s handling of extended attributes (xattrs). A local attacker could exploit this flaw to bypass ACLs and potentially escalate privileges. A race condition was discovered in the Linux kernel’s file_handle size verification. A local user could exploit this flaw to read potentially sensitive memory locations. Various other issues were also addressed.

Ubuntu Security Notice 2667-1 – A race condition was discovered in the Linux kernel’s file_handle size verification. A local user could exploit this flaw to read potentially sensitive memory locations. A underflow error was discovered in the Linux kernel’s Ozmo Devices USB over WiFi host controller driver. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash) or potentially execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted packet. Various other issues were also addressed.

Ubuntu Security Notice 2662-1 – Alexandre Oliva reported a race condition flaw in the btrfs file system’s handling of extended attributes (xattrs). A local attacker could exploit this flaw to bypass ACLs and potentially escalate privileges. A race condition was discovered in the Linux kernel’s file_handle size verification. A local user could exploit this flaw to read potentially sensitive memory locations. Various other issues were also addressed.
