In libzypp before 20170803 it was possible to add unsigned YUM repositories without warning to the user that could lead to man in the middle or malicious servers to inject malicious RPM packages into a users system.
In libzypp before 20170803 it was possible to retrieve unsigned packages without a warning to the user which could lead to man in the middle or malicious servers to inject malicious RPM packages into a users system.
In the open build service before 201707022 the wipetrigger and rebuild actions checked the wrong project for permissions, allowing authenticated users to cause operations on projects where they did not have permissions leading to denial of service (resource consumption).
In libzypp before August 2018 GPG keys attached to YUM repositories were not correctly pinned, allowing malicious repository mirrors to silently downgrade to unsigned repositories with potential malicious content.
systemd-tmpfiles in systemd through 237 mishandles symlinks present in non-terminal path components, which allows local users to obtain ownership of arbitrary files via vectors involving creation of a directory and a file under that directory, and later replacing that directory with a symlink. This occurs even if the fs.protected_symlinks sysctl is turned on.
systemd-tmpfiles in systemd before 237 attempts to support ownership/permission changes on hardlinked files even if the fs.protected_hardlinks sysctl is turned off, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via vectors involving a hard link to a file for which the user lacks write access, as demonstrated by changing the ownership of the /etc/passwd file.
The Google V8 engine, as used in Google Chrome before 44.0.2403.89 and QtWebEngineCore in Qt before 5.5.1, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site.
Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and branch prediction may allow unauthorized disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a side-channel analysis.
