IPFire proxy.cgi Remote Code Execution

A remote code execution vulnerability has been reported in the proxy.cgi script of IPFire. The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when creating a new web proxy user. A remote, authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending maliciously crafted HTTP requests to the target server. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code under the security context of a non-privileged user.

OpenSSL SSL_peek Infinite Loop Denial of Service (CVE-2016-6305)

A denial-of-service vulnerability exists in OpenSSL. The vulnerability is due to an error in SSL_peek() API that causes an infinite loop to occur when processing empty records. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by supplying an empty record during an SSL connection. Successful exploitation will cause the server application to use up 100% of its CPU resources, resulting in a denial-of-service condition.

Adobe ColdFusion OOXML XXE Information Disclosure (CVE-2016-4264)

An XML external entity (XXE) processing vulnerability has been reported in the Office Open XML (OOXML) parsing component of Adobe ColdFusion. The vulnerability is due to a lack of validation on user-supplied input when parsing OOXML documents. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by uploading a maliciously crafted OOXML document to the target server. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to read arbitrary files from the target server.
