kernel: pty layer race condition on tty ldisc shutdown.

Race condition in the ldsem_cmpxchg function in drivers/tty/tty_ldsem.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13-rc4-next-20131218 allows local users to cause a denial of service (ldsem_down_read and ldsem_down_write deadlock) by establishing a new tty thread during shutdown of a previous tty thread.

Race condition in the object-group ACL feature in Cisco IOS 15.5(2)T and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via crafted network traffic that triggers improper handling of the timing of process switching and Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) switching, aka Bug ID CSCun21071.

kernel: Race condition in sclp_ctl_ioctl_sccb function leads to information leak

Race condition in the sclp_ctl_ioctl_sccb function in drivers/s390/char/sclp_ctl.c in the Linux kernel before 4.6 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by changing a certain length value, aka a "double fetch" vulnerability.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 through 11 allows remote attackers to gain privileges via a crafted web site, aka "Internet Explorer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-1748.

Race condition in Advantech WebAccess before 8.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) via a crafted request.

Race condition in the App Installation feature in Apple iOS before 8 allows local users to gain privileges and install unverified apps by leveraging /tmp write access.

mcollective: aes_security.rb file creation vulnerability

The MCollective aes_security plugin, as used in Puppet Enterprise before 3.3.0 and Mcollective before 2.5.3, does not properly validate new server certificates based on the CA certificate, which allows local users to establish unauthorized Mcollective connections via unspecified vectors related to a race condition.

QT: BMP image handler crash

The BMP decoder in QtGui in QT before 5.5 does not properly calculate the masks used to extract the color components, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero and crash) via a crafted BMP file.

openstack-nova: Nova VMware driver may connect VNC to another tenant's console

Race condition in the VMware driver in OpenStack Compute (Nova) before 2014.1.4 and 2014.2 before 2014.2rc1 allows remote authenticated users to access unintended consoles by spawning an instance that triggers the same VNC port to be allocated to two different instances.

Mozilla: Use-after-free due to Media Decoder Thread creation during shutdown (MFSA 2015-53)

Race condition in the nsThreadManager::RegisterCurrentThread function in Mozilla Firefox before 38.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and heap memory corruption) by leveraging improper Media Decoder Thread creation at the time of a shutdown.

llvm: insecure temporary file handling in clang's scan-build utility

The GetHTMLRunDir function in the scan-build utility in Clang 3.5 and earlier allows local users to obtain sensitive information or overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary directories with predictable names.

rubygem-kafo: temporary file creation vulnerability when creating /tmp/default_values.yaml

Kafo before 0.3.17 and 0.4.x before 0.5.2, as used by Foreman, uses world-readable permissions for default_values.yaml, which allows local users to obtain passwords and other sensitive information by reading the file.

kernel: Race condition in packet_set_ring leads to use after free

Race condition in net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel through 4.8.12 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by leveraging the CAP_NET_RAW capability to change a socket version, related to the packet_set_ring and packet_setsockopt functions.

ntp: autokey association reset

ntpd in NTP 4.x before 4.2.8p8, when autokey is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (peer-variable clearing and association outage) by sending (1) a spoofed crypto-NAK packet or (2) a packet with an incorrect MAC value at a certain time.

kernel: use-after-free during key garbage collection

Race condition in the key_gc_unused_keys function in security/keys/gc.c in the Linux kernel through 3.18.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption or panic) or possibly have unspecified other impact via keyctl commands that trigger access to a key structure member during garbage collection of a key.

Race condition in NVMap in NVIDIA Tegra Linux Kernel 3.10 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted NVMAP_IOC_CREATE IOCTL call, which triggers a use-after-free error, as demonstrated by using a race condition to escape the Chrome sandbox.

Kernel: fs: btrfs: non-atomic xattr replace operation

The Btrfs implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.19 does not ensure that the visible xattr state is consistent with a requested replacement, which allows local users to bypass intended ACL settings and gain privileges via standard filesystem operations (1) during an xattr-replacement time window, related to a race condition, or (2) after an xattr-replacement attempt that fails because the data does not fit.

kernel: SCTP race condition allows list corruption and panic from userlevel

Race condition in net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel before 4.1.2 allows local users to cause a denial of service (list corruption and panic) via a rapid series of system calls related to sockets, as demonstrated by setsockopt calls.

kernel: sound: GPF in snd_timer_user_params

sound/core/timer.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4.1 uses an incorrect type of mutex, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (race condition, use-after-free, and system crash) via a crafted ioctl call.

Race condition in Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) before 5.26 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted DLL, aka "MSRT Race Condition Vulnerability."
