Updated java-1.8.0-openjdk packages fix security vulnerabilities

It was discovered that the RMI registry and DCG implementations in the RMI component of OpenJDK performed deserialization of untrusted inputs. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of RMI registry or a Java RMI application CVE-2017-3241. This...

Denial Of Service (DoS)

FFMpeg is vulnerable to denial of service DoS attacks and possibly other attacks. These attacks are possible because pngdec.c allows the monochrome-black format without verifying the bits-by-pixel value is 1. This can lead attackers to cause an out-of-bounds access error through a PNG data...
