Denial Of Service (DoS)

binutils:bionic is vulnerable to denial of service DoS. The getcount function in cplus-dem.c in GNU libiberty allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service malloc called with the result of an integer-overflowing calculation or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted string, as...

Remote Code Execution (RCE)

gdm3, bionic is vulnerable to remote code execution RCE. The daemon in GDM does not properly unexport display objects from its D-Bus interface when they are destroyed, which allows a local attacker to trigger a use-after-free via a specially crafted sequence of D-Bus method calls, resulting in a...
