Paolo Bonzini of Red Hat discovered that the blit region checks were
insufficient in the Cirrus VGA emulator in qemu-kvm, a full
virtualization solution on x86 hardware. A privileged guest user could
use this flaw to write into qemu address space on the host, potentially
escalating their privileges to those of the qemu host process.

Michele Spagnuolo, of Google Security Team, and Miroslav Lichvar, of
Red Hat, discovered two issues in flac, a library handling Free
Lossless Audio Codec media: by providing a specially crafted FLAC
file, an attacker could execute arbitrary code.

A flaw was discovered in mutt, a text-based mailreader. A specially
crafted mail header could cause mutt to crash, leading to a denial of
service condition.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in libvncserver, a library to
implement VNC server functionality. These vulnerabilities might result in the
execution of arbitrary code or denial of service in both the client and the
server side.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenJDK, an
implementation of the Oracle Java platform, resulting in the execution
of arbitrary code, information disclosure or denial of service.

A vulnerability was discovered in ppp, an implementation of the
Point-to-Point Protocol: an integer overflow in the routine
responsible for parsing user-supplied options potentially allows a
local attacker to gain root privileges.
