kernel: vhost: Information disclosure in vhost/vhost.c:vhost_new_msg()

The Linux kernel does not properly initialize memory in messages passed between virtual guests and the host operating system in the vhost/vhost.c:vhostnewmsg function. This can allow local privileged users to read some kernel memory contents when reading from the /dev/vhost-net device file...

Apple macOS AppleGPUWrangler Logging Uninitialized Memory Information Disclosure Vulnerability

This vulnerability allows local attackers to disclose sensitive information on vulnerable installations of Apple macOS. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handlin...

The vulnerability of the Office Open XML Text Processor, the Atlantis Word Processor, allows a hacker to execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability of the Office Open XML Text Processor, the Atlantis Word Processor, arises due to errors during initialization of pointers. Exploiting this vulnerability allows a malicious actor to execute arbitrary code within an application, using a specially created document...

The vulnerability of the RTF text processor, the Atlantis Word Processor, allows a hacker to execute arbitrary code.

USN-3785-1 imagemagick vulnerabilities

Due to a large number of issues discovered in GhostScript that prevent it from being used by ImageMagick safely, this update includes a default policy change that disables support for the Postscript and PDF formats in ImageMagick. This policy can be overridden if necessary by using an alternate...

CVE-2018-9511

CVE-2018-9511 affects Android 9.0 and relates to ipSecSetEncapSocketOwner in XfrmController.cpp. The issue is a potential failure to initialize a security feature due to uninitialized data, which could enable local denial of service (DoS) on IPsec sockets without additional privileges or user int...

CVE-2018-17155

In FreeBSD before 11.2-STABLEr338983, 11.2-RELEASE-p4, 11.1-RELEASE-p15, 10.4-STABLEr338984, and 10.4-RELEASE-p13, due to insufficient initialization of memory copied to userland in the getcontext and swapcontext system calls, small amounts of kernel memory may be disclosed to userland processes...
