The do_setup_env function in session.c in sshd in OpenSSH through 7.2p2, when the UseLogin feature is enabled and PAM is configured to read .pam_environment files in user home directories, allows local users to gain privileges by triggering a crafted environment for the /bin/login program, as demonstrated by an LD_PRELOAD environment variable.

CVE-2016-4415
wiretap/vwr.c in the Ixia IxVeriWave file parser in Wireshark 2.x before 2.0.2 incorrectly increases a certain octet count, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) via a crafted file.
CVE-2016-4416
epan/dissectors/packet-ieee80211.c in the IEEE 802.11 dissector in Wireshark 2.x before 2.0.2 mishandles the Grouping subfield, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted packet.
CVE-2016-4417
Off-by-one error in epan/dissectors/packet-gsm_abis_oml.c in the GSM A-bis OML dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.10 and 2.x before 2.0.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted packet that triggers a 0xff tag value.
CVE-2016-4418
epan/dissectors/packet-ber.c in the ASN.1 BER dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.10 and 2.x before 2.0.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted packet that triggers an empty set.
CVE-2016-4419
epan/dissectors/packet-spice.c in the SPICE dissector in Wireshark 2.x before 2.0.2 mishandles capability data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (large loop) via a crafted packet.
CVE-2016-4420
The NFS dissector in Wireshark 2.x before 2.0.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
CVE-2016-4421
epan/dissectors/packet-ber.c in the ASN.1 BER dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.10 and 2.x before 2.0.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (deep recursion, stack consumption, and application crash) via a packet that specifies deeply nested data.
DSA-3563 poppler – security update
It was discovered that a heap overflow in the Poppler PDF library may
result in denial of service and potentially the execution of arbitrary
code if a malformed PDF file is opened.
DSA-3562 tardiff – security update
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in tardiff, a tarball comparison
tool. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the
following problems:
