DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2014-11-10 CVE-2014-3611 Race Condition vulnerability in multiple products
Race condition in the __kvm_migrate_pit_timer function in arch/x86/kvm/i8254.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) by leveraging incorrect PIT emulation.

2014-11-10 CVE-2014-3610 The WRMSR processing functionality in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 does not properly handle the writing of a non-canonical address to a model-specific register, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) by leveraging guest OS privileges, related to the wrmsr_interception function in arch/x86/kvm/svm.c and the handle_wrmsr function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c.

2014-11-06 CVE-2014-8483 Out-Of-Bounds Read vulnerability in multiple products
The blowfishECB function in core/cipher.cpp in Quassel IRC 0.10.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a malformed string.

2014-11-04 CVE-2014-3660 Denial of Service vulnerability in Libxml2 Entities Expansion
parser.c in libxml2 before 2.9.2 does not properly prevent entity expansion even when entity substitution has been disabled, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted XML document containing a large number of nested entity references, a variant of the "billion laughs" attack.

2014-11-03 CVE-2014-8080 XML External Entity Denial of Service vulnerability in Ruby
The REXML parser in Ruby 1.9.x before 1.9.3-p550, 2.0.x before 2.0.0-p594, and 2.1.x before 2.1.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted XML document, aka an XML Entity Expansion (XEE) attack.

2014-10-29 CVE-2014-3694 Cryptographic Issues vulnerability in multiple products
The (1) bundled GnuTLS SSL/TLS plugin and the (2) bundled OpenSSL SSL/TLS plugin in libpurple in Pidgin before 2.10.10 do not properly consider the Basic Constraints extension during verification of X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted certificate.

2014-10-25 CVE-2014-0476 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in multiple products
The slapper function in chkrootkit before 0.50 does not properly quote file paths, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a Trojan horse executable.

2014-10-16 CVE-2014-3686 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in multiple products
wpa_supplicant and hostapd 0.7.2 through 2.2, when running with certain configurations and using wpa_cli or hostapd_cli with action scripts, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted frame.
6.8
2014-10-15 CVE-2014-1829 Information Exposure vulnerability in multiple products
Requests (aka python-requests) before 2.3.0 allows remote servers to obtain a netrc password by reading the Authorization header in a redirected request.

2014-10-13 CVE-2014-7975 The do_umount function in fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17 does not require the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability for do_remount_sb calls that change the root filesystem to read-only, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (loss of writability) by making certain unshare system calls, clearing the / MNT_LOCKED flag, and making an MNT_FORCE umount system call.
