CVE-2015-3240
The pluto IKE daemon in libreswan before 3.15 and Openswan before 2.6.45, when built with NSS, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon restart) via a zero DH g^x value in a KE payload in a IKE packet.
CVE-2015-5218
Buffer overflow in text-utils/colcrt.c in colcrt in util-linux before 2.27 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted file, related to the page global variable.
CVE-2015-7295
hw/virtio/virtio.c in the Virtual Network Device (virtio-net) support in QEMU, when big or mergeable receive buffers are not supported, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (guest network consumption) via a flood of jumbo frames on the (1) tuntap or (2) macvtap interface.
CVE-2015-7940
The Bouncy Castle Java library before 1.51 does not validate a point is withing the elliptic curve, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain private keys via a series of crafted elliptic curve Diffie Hellman (ECDH) key exchanges, aka an “invalid curve attack.”
CVE-2015-8041
Multiple integer overflows in the NDEF record parser in hostapd before 2.5 and wpa_supplicant before 2.5 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process crash or infinite loop) via a large payload length field value in an (1) WPS or (2) P2P NFC NDEF record, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.
CVE-2015-8095
The recycle bin feature in the Monster Menus module 7.x-1.21 before 7.x-1.24 for Drupal does not properly remove nodes from view, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via an unspecified URL pattern.
CVE-2015-8096
Integer overflow in Google Picasa 3.9.140 Build 239 and Build 248 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors related to “phase one 0x412 tag,” which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
FreeType 2.6.1 TrueType Parsing Heap-Based Out Of Bounds Read
A heap-based out-of-bounds memory read has been encountered in FreeType. It has been reproduced with the current version of freetype2 from master git branch, with a 64-bit build of the ftbench utility compiled with AddressSanitizer. Three proof of concepts are included.
