DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2017-02-24 CVE-2016-2226 Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability in GNU Libiberty
Integer overflow in the string_appends function in cplus-dem.c in libiberty allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted executable, which triggers a buffer overflow.

low complexity
gnu CWE-190
7.8
2017-02-17 CVE-2017-5357 Use After Free vulnerability in multiple products
regex.c in GNU ed before 1.14.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed command, which triggers an invalid free.

low complexity
fedoraproject gnu CWE-416
7.5
2017-02-17 CVE-2016-5417 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in GNU Glibc
Memory leak in the __res_vinit function in the IPv6 name server management code in libresolv in GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.24 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by leveraging partial initialization of internal resolver data structures.

low complexity
gnu CWE-399
7.5
2017-02-07 CVE-2016-6131 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in GNU Libiberty
The demangler in GNU Libiberty allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop, stack overflow, and crash) via a cycle in the references of remembered mangled types.

low complexity
gnu CWE-20
7.5
2017-01-19 CVE-2016-7543 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in multiple products
Bash before 4.4 allows local users to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges via crafted SHELLOPTS and PS4 environment variables.

low complexity
gnu fedoraproject CWE-20
8.4
2016-12-09 CVE-2016-6321 Path Traversal vulnerability in GNU TAR
Directory traversal vulnerability in the safer_name_suffix function in GNU tar 1.14 through 1.29 might allow remote attackers to bypass an intended protection mechanism and write to arbitrary files via vectors related to improper sanitization of the file_name parameter, aka POINTYFEATHER.
network
low complexity
gnu CWE-22
7.5
2016-10-07 CVE-2016-6323 Improper Access Control vulnerability in multiple products
The makecontext function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.25 creates execution contexts incompatible with the unwinder on ARM EABI (32-bit) platforms, which might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (hang), as demonstrated by applications compiled using gccgo, related to backtrace generation.

low complexity
gnu opensuse fedoraproject CWE-284
7.5
2016-09-27 CVE-2016-7444 Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in GNU Gnutls
The gnutls_ocsp_resp_check_crt function in lib/x509/ocsp.c in GnuTLS before 3.4.15 and 3.5.x before 3.5.4 does not verify the serial length of an OCSP response, which might allow remote attackers to bypass an intended certificate validation mechanism via vectors involving trailing bytes left by gnutls_malloc.
network
low complexity
gnu CWE-264
7.5
2016-09-26 CVE-2016-7098 Race Condition vulnerability in GNU Wget
Race condition in wget 1.17 and earlier, when used in recursive or mirroring mode to download a single file, might allow remote servers to bypass intended access list restrictions by keeping an HTTP connection open.
network
high complexity
gnu CWE-362
8.1
2016-09-07 CVE-2016-6263 Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in GNU Libidn
