The monitor component in sshd in OpenSSH before 7.0 on non-OpenBSD platforms accepts extraneous username data in MONITOR_REQ_PAM_INIT_CTX requests, which allows local users to conduct impersonation attacks by leveraging any SSH login access in conjunction with control of the sshd uid to send a crafted MONITOR_REQ_PWNAM request, related to monitor.c and monitor_wrap.c.

CVE-2015-6564
Use-after-free vulnerability in the mm_answer_pam_free_ctx function in monitor.c in sshd in OpenSSH before 7.0 on non-OpenBSD platforms might allow local users to gain privileges by leveraging control of the sshd uid to send an unexpectedly early MONITOR_REQ_PAM_FREE_CTX request.
CVE-2015-6565
sshd in OpenSSH 6.8 and 6.9 uses world-writable permissions for TTY devices, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (terminal disruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by writing to a device, as demonstrated by writing an escape sequence.
CVE-2015-5964
The (1) contrib.sessions.backends.base.SessionBase.flush and (2) cache_db.SessionStore.flush functions in Django 1.7.x before 1.7.10, 1.4.x before 1.4.22, and possibly other versions create empty sessions in certain circumstances, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (session store consumption) via unspecified vectors. (CVSS:5.0) (Last Update:2015-08-25)
CVE-2015-5963
contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware in Django 1.8.x before 1.8.4, 1.7.x before 1.7.10, 1.4.x before 1.4.22, and possibly other versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (session store consumption or session record removal) via a large number of requests to contrib.auth.views.logout, which triggers the creation of an empty session record. (CVSS:5.0) (Last Update:2015-08-25)
CVE-2015-2904
Actiontec GT784WN modems with firmware before NCS01-1.0.13 have hardcoded credentials, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain root access by connecting to the web administration interface.
CVE-2015-2905
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability on Actiontec GT784WN modems with firmware before NCS01-1.0.13 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication or intranet connectivity of arbitrary users.
CVE-2015-2906
** DISPUTED ** Mobile Devices (aka MDI) C4 OBD-II dongles with firmware 2.x and 3.4.x, as used in Metromile Pulse and other products, store SSH private keys that are the same across different customers’ installations, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access by leveraging knowledge of a private key from another installation. NOTE: the vendor states “This was a flaw for the developer/debugging devices (again not possible in production versions).”
CVE-2015-2907
** DISPUTED ** Mobile Devices (aka MDI) C4 OBD-II dongles with firmware 2.x and 3.4.x, as used in Metromile Pulse and other products, have hardcoded SSH credentials, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access by leveraging knowledge of the required username and password. NOTE: the vendor states “This was a flaw for the developer/debugging devices (again not possible in production versions).”
CVE-2015-2908
** DISPUTED ** Mobile Devices (aka MDI) C4 OBD-II dongles with firmware 2.x and 3.4.x, as used in Metromile Pulse and other products, do not validate firmware updates, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by specifying an update server. NOTE: the vendor states “This was a flaw for the developer/debugging devices, and was fixed in production version about 3 years ago.”
