CVE-2017-9772

OCaml CVE-2017-9772: Insufficient sanitisation in OCaml compiler versions 4.04.0/4.04.1 allows local privilege escalation by setting CAML_CPLUGINS, CAML_NATIVE_CPLUGINS, or CAML_BYTE_CPLUGINS environment variables. Affected: OCaml compiler; impact: privilege escalation on setuid binaries. Remedia...

CVE-2017-9772

Insufficient sanitisation in the OCaml compiler versions 4.04.0 and 4.04.1 allows external code to be executed with raised privilege in binaries marked as setuid, by setting the CAMLCPLUGINS, CAMLNATIVECPLUGINS, or CAMLBYTECPLUGINS environment variable...

BSA-2017-336

Security Advisory ID : BSA-2017-336 Component : zlib Revision : 2.0: Interim There was a small optimization for PowerPCs to pre-increment a pointer when accessing a word, instead of post-incrementing. This required prefacing the loop with a decrement of the pointer, possibly pointing before the...

Buffer overflow

The ieeeobjectp function in bfd/ieee.c in the Binary File Descriptor BFD library aka libbfd, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service buffer overflow and application crash or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted binary file, as...

[SECURITY] Fedora 24 Update: capnproto-0.5.3.1-1.fc24

Cap=EF=BF=BD=EF=BF=BD=EF=BF=BDn Proto is an insanely fast data interchange format and capability-based RPC system. Think JSON, except binary. Or think Protocol Buffers, except faster. In fact, in benchmarks, Cap=EF=BF=BD=EF=BF=BD=EF=BF=BDn Proto is INFINITY TIMES faster than Protoco l Buffers. Th...

Static Code Analyzer: PVS-Studio

Static Code Analyzer PVS-Studio performs static code analysis and generates a report that helps a programmer find and fix bugs. PVS-Studio performs a wide range of code checks, it is also useful to search for misprints and Copy-Paste errors. Examples of such errors: V501 , V517 , V522 , V523 ,...

Reproducing Go binaries byte-by-byte

Fully reproducible builds are important because they bridge the gap between auditable open source and convenient binary artifacts. Technologies like TUF and Binary Transparency provide accountability for what binaries are shipped to users, but that's of limited utility if there is no way short of...

CVE-2017-7892

Sandstorm Cap'n Proto before 0.5.3.1 allows remote crashes related to a compiler optimization. A remote attacker can trigger a segfault in a 32-bit libcapnp application because Cap'n Proto relies on pointer arithmetic calculations that overflow. An example compiler with optimization that elides a...

CVE-2017-7892

CVE-2017-7892 affects Sandstorm Cap'n Proto / capnpproto prior to 0.5.3.1. The vulnerability stems from compiler optimization interacting with Cap'n Proto’s pointer arithmetic, allowing overflow in 32-bit builds and leading to remote crashes (segmentation fault) when processing crafted far pointe...
