The Grails Resource Plugin often has to exchange URIs for resources with other internal components. Those other components will decode any URI passed to them. To protect against directory traversal the Grails Resource Plugin did the following: normalized the URI, checked the normalized URI did not step outside the appropriate root directory (e.g. the web application root), decoded the URI and checked that this did not introduce additional /../ (and similar) sequences. A bug was introduced where the Grails Resource Plugin before 1.2.13 returned the decoded version of the URI rather than the normalized version of the URI after the directory traversal check. This exposed a double decoding vulnerability. To address this issue, the Grails Resource Plugin now repeatedly decodes the URI up to three times or until decoding no longer changes the URI. If the decode limit of 3 is exceeded the URI is rejected. A side-effect of this is that the Grails Resource Plugin is unable to serve a resource that includes a '%' character in the full path to the resource. Not all environments are vulnerable because of the differences in URL resolving in different servlet containers. Applications deployed to Tomcat 8 and Jetty 9 were found not not be vulnerable, however applications deployed to JBoss EAP 6.3 / JBoss AS 7.4 and JBoss AS 7.1 were found to be vulnerable (other JBoss versions weren't tested). In certain cases JBoss returns JBoss specific vfs protocol urls from URL resolution methods (ClassLoader.getResources). The JBoss vfs URL protocol supports resolving any file on the filesystem. This made the directory traversal possible. There may be other containers, in addition to JBoss, on which this vulnerability is exposed.
Search vulnerabilities
php: post handler potential illegal efree() vulnerability
Use-after-free vulnerability in the add_post_var function in the Posthandler component in PHP 5.6.x before 5.6.1 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging a third-party filter extension that accesses a certain ksep value.
vtldap/ldaptive: Hostname verification susceptible to MITM attack
DefaultHostnameVerifier in Ldaptive (formerly vt-ldap) does not properly verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.
Java: HTTPS Connections Via HTTP Resources Do Not Perform Hostname Verification
The (1) HttpResource and (2) FileBackedHttpResource implementations in Shibboleth Identity Provider (IdP) before 2.4.1 and OpenSAML Java 2.6.2 do not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.
REST: XXE due to insecure configuration of RestEasy
HornetQ REST is vulnerable to XML External Entity due to insecure configuration of RestEasy
Origin: XSS in team name
OpenShift Origin: Improperly validated team names could allow stored XSS attacks
libgcrypt: use ciphertext blinding for Elgamal decryption (new side-channel attack)
Libgcrypt before 1.6.3 and GnuPG before 1.4.19 does not implement ciphertext blinding for Elgamal decryption, which allows physically proximate attackers to obtain the server's private key by determining factors using crafted ciphertext and the fluctuations in the electromagnetic field during multiplication.
rhn_satellite_6: cross-site request forgery (CSRF) can force logout
Versions of Foreman as shipped with Red Hat Satellite 6 does not check for a correct CSRF token in the logout action. Therefore, an attacker can log out a user by having them view specially crafted content.
redhat-upgrade-tool: does not check GPG signatures on package installation
redhat-upgrade-tool: Does not check GPG signatures when upgrading versions
base/oi/doa.py in the Rope library in CPython (aka Python) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging an unsafe call to pickle.load.
CFME: RHN account info logged to top_output.log during registration
CFME (CloudForms Management Engine) 5: RHN account information is logged to top_output.log during registration
The open_by_handle_at function in vzkernel before 042stab090.5 in the OpenVZ modification for the Linux kernel 2.6.32, when using simfs, might allow local container users with CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH capability to bypass an intended container protection mechanism and access arbitrary files on a filesystem via vectors related to use of the file_handle structure.
duplicity 0.6.24 has improper verification of SSL certificates
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the __dn_expand function in network/dn_expand.c in musl libc 1.1x before 1.1.2 and 0.9.13 through 1.0.3 allow remote attackers to (1) have unspecified impact via an invalid name length in a DNS response or (2) cause a denial of service (crash) via an invalid name length in a DNS response, related to an infinite loop with no output.
Qemu: hw: pci: use after free triggered via guest
Use-after-free vulnerability in hw/pci/pcie.c in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator) allows local guest OS users to cause a denial of service (QEMU instance crash) via hotplug and hotunplug operations of Virtio block devices.

BSS Continuity CMS 4.2.22640.0 has a Remote Denial Of Service vulnerability
backup.php in HandsomeWeb SOS Webpages before 1.1.12 does not require knowledge of the cleartext password, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication by leveraging knowledge of the administrator password hash.
The MySQL server in Juniper Networks Junos Space before 13.3R1.8 has an unspecified account with a hardcoded password, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information and consequently obtain administrative control by leveraging database access.
