SSLsplit is a tool for man-in-the-middle attacks against SSL/TLS encrypted network connections. Connections are transparently intercepted through a network address translation engine and redirected to SSLsplit. SSLsplit terminates SSL/TLS and initiates a new SSL/TLS connection to the original destination address, while logging all data transmitted. SSLsplit is intended to be useful for network forensics and penetration testing.

The named pipe, IPEFSYSPCPIPE, can be accessed by normal users to interact with the iPass service. The service provides a LaunchAppSysMode command which allows to execute arbitrary commands as SYSTEM.

pyClamd is a python interface to Clamd (Clamav daemon). By using pyClamd, you can add virus detection capabilities to your python software in an efficient and easy way. Instead of pyClamav which uses libclamav, pyClamd may be used by a closed source product.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 3192-1 – Hiroya Ito of GMO Pepabo, Inc. reported that checkpw, a password authentication program, has a flaw in processing account names which contain double dashes. A remote attacker can use this flaw to cause a denial of service (infinite loop).

Ubuntu Security Notice 2534-1 – It was discovered that Libav incorrectly handled certain malformed media files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted media file, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 3193-1 – Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in tcpdump, a command-line network traffic analyzer. These vulnerabilities might result in denial of service (application crash) or, potentially, execution of arbitrary code.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-0694-01 – The kernel-rt packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel’s XFS file system handled replacing of remote attributes under certain conditions. A local user with access to XFS file system mount could potentially use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel’s splice() system call validated its parameters. On certain file systems, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to write past the maximum file size, and thus crash the system.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-0695-01 – The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel’s SCTP implementation validated INIT chunks when performing Address Configuration Change. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system by sending a specially crafted SCTP packet to trigger a NULL pointer dereference on the system. It was found that the Linux kernel’s Infiniband subsystem did not properly sanitize input parameters while registering memory regions from user space via the verbs API. A local user with access to a /dev/infiniband/uverbsX device could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 3194-1 – Ilja van Sprundel, Alan Coopersmith and William Robinet discovered multiple issues in libxfont’s code to process BDF fonts, which might result in privilege escalation.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-0697-01 – The flash-plugin package contains a Mozilla Firefox compatible Adobe Flash Player web browser plug-in. This update fixes multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player. These vulnerabilities are detailed in the Adobe Security Bulletin APSB15-05 listed in the References section. Multiple flaws were found in the way flash-plugin displayed certain SWF content. An attacker could use these flaws to create a specially crafted SWF file that would cause flash-plugin to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when the victim loaded a page containing the malicious SWF content.
