CVE-2013-3154 (windows_7, windows_defender, windows_server_2008)
The signature-update functionality in Windows Defender on Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 relies on an incorrect pathname, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse application in the %SYSTEMDRIVE% top-level directory, aka “Microsoft Windows 7 Defender Improper Pathname Vulnerability.”
CVE-2013-1896
mod_dav.c in the Apache HTTP Server before 2.2.25 does not properly determine whether DAV is enabled for a URI, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a MERGE request in which the URI is configured for handling by the mod_dav_svn module, but a certain href attribute in XML data refers to a non-DAV URI.
