DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2016-05-17 CVE-2016-3705 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in multiple products
The (1) xmlParserEntityCheck and (2) xmlParseAttValueComplex functions in parser.c in libxml2 2.9.3 do not properly keep track of the recursion depth, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and application crash) via a crafted XML document containing a large number of nested entity references.

2016-05-17 CVE-2016-3627 Uncontrolled Recursion vulnerability in multiple products
The xmlStringGetNodeList function in tree.c in libxml2 2.9.3 and earlier, when used in recovery mode, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion, stack consumption, and application crash) via a crafted XML document.
7.5
2016-05-14 CVE-2016-1669 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products
The Zone::New function in zone.cc in Google V8 before 5.0.71.47, as used in Google Chrome before 50.0.2661.102, does not properly determine when to expand certain memory allocations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code.

2016-05-13 CVE-2016-1578 Use After Free Denial of Service vulnerability in Ubuntu oxide-qt Package
Use-after-free vulnerability in Oxide allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, related to responding synchronously to permission requests.

2016-05-11 CVE-2016-3710 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products
The VGA module in QEMU improperly performs bounds checking on banked access to video memory, which allows local guest OS administrators to execute arbitrary code on the host by changing access modes after setting the bank register, aka the "Dark Portal" issue.
7.2
2016-05-05 CVE-2016-3714 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in multiple products
The (1) EPHEMERAL, (2) HTTPS, (3) MVG, (4) MSL, (5) TEXT, (6) SHOW, (7) WIN, and (8) PLT coders in ImageMagick before 6.9.3-10 and 7.x before 7.0.1-1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via shell metacharacters in a crafted image, aka "ImageTragick."
8.4
2016-05-05 CVE-2016-2105 Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability in multiple products
Integer overflow in the EVP_EncodeUpdate function in crypto/evp/encode.c in OpenSSL before 1.0.1t and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2h allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via a large amount of binary data.
7.5
2016-05-02 CVE-2016-2117 Information Exposure vulnerability in multiple products
The atl2_probe function in drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/atlx/atl2.c in the Linux kernel through 4.5.2 incorrectly enables scatter/gather I/O, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by reading packet data.

2016-05-02 CVE-2016-1576 The overlayfs implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.5.2 does not properly restrict the mount namespace, which allows local users to gain privileges by mounting an overlayfs filesystem on top of a FUSE filesystem, and then executing a crafted setuid program.

2016-05-02 CVE-2016-1575 Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in multiple products
The overlayfs implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.5.2 does not properly maintain POSIX ACL xattr data, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging a group-writable setgid directory.
