2018-01-04 CVE-2017-18018 Race Condition vulnerability in GNU Coreutils
In GNU Coreutils through 8.29, chown-core.c in chown and chgrp does not prevent replacement of a plain file with a symlink during use of the POSIX "-R -L" options, which allows local users to modify the ownership of arbitrary files by leveraging a race condition.

2018-01-02 CVE-2017-1000455 Origin Validation Error vulnerability in GNU Guixsd
GuixSD prior to Git commit 5e66574a128937e7f2fcf146d146225703ccfd5d used POSIX hard links incorrectly, leading the creation of setuid executables in "the store", violating a fundamental security assumption of GNU Guix.

2017-12-06 CVE-2017-17440 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in GNU Libextractor 1.6
GNU Libextractor 1.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted GIF, IT (Impulse Tracker), NSFE, S3M (Scream Tracker 3), SID, or XM (eXtended Module) file, as demonstrated by the EXTRACTOR_xm_extract_method function in plugins/xm_extractor.c.
