CVE-2017-6312

Integer overflow in io-ico.c in gdk-pixbuf allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service segmentation fault and application crash via a crafted image entry offset in an ICO file, which triggers an out-of-bounds read, related to compiler optimizations...

Privilege escalation

An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the kernel networking subsystem could enable a local malicious application to execute arbitrary code within the context of the kernel. This issue is rated as Moderate because it first requires compromising a privileged process and current compiler...

xen-tools -- qemu incautious about shared ring processing

The Xen Project reports: The compiler can emit optimizations in qemu which can lead to double fetch vulnerabilities. Specifically data on the rings shared between qemu and the hypervisor which the guest under control can obtain mappings of can be fetched twice during which time the guest can alte...

UBUNTU-CVE-2016-4472

The overflow protection in Expat is removed by compilers with certain optimization settings, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service crash or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted XML data. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-1283 and...

MDKA-2007:124 : openafs

This update addresses the following bugs in the openafs package: The openafs kernel module does not work on the x8664 platform, triggering a kernel oops as soon as it is loaded. The openafs package was compiled with wrong gcc 4.2 compiler optimisations which prevented it from listing directory...

C compilers may silently discard some wraparound checks

Overview Some C compilers optimize away pointer arithmetic overflow tests that depend on undefined behavior without providing a diagnostic a warning. Applications containing these tests may be vulnerable to buffer overflows if compiled with these compilers. Description In the C language, given th...
