7.5CVE-2018-21247canonicalubuntu_linux+13
EPSS score
2.46%
An issue was discovered in LibVNCServer before 0.9.13. There is an information leak (of uninitialized memory contents) in the libvncclient/rfbproto.c ConnectToRFBRepeater function.
9.8CVE-2018-16850alpinepostgresql+39
EPSS score
5.15%
postgresql before versions 11.1, 10.6 is vulnerable to a to SQL injection in pg_upgrade and pg_dump via CREATE TRIGGER ... REFERENCING. Using a purpose-crafted trigger definition, an attacker can cause arbitrary SQL statements to run, with superuser privileges.
5.5CVE-2018-16541artifexghostscript+10
EPSS score
1.41%
In Artifex Ghostscript before 9.24, attackers able to supply crafted PostScript files could use incorrect free logic in pagedevice replacement to crash the interpreter.

GNOME GLib 2.56.1 has an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in g_markup_parse_context_parse() in gmarkup.c, related to utf8_str().
5.3CVE-2018-16872canonicalubuntu_linux+7
EPSS score
1.07%
A flaw was found in qemu Media Transfer Protocol (MTP). The code opening files in usb_mtp_get_object and usb_mtp_get_partial_object and directories in usb_mtp_object_readdir doesn't consider that the underlying filesystem may have changed since the time lstat(2) was called in usb_mtp_object_alloc, a classical TOCTTOU problem. An attacker with write access to the host filesystem shared with a guest can use this property to navigate the host filesystem in the context of the QEMU process and read any file the QEMU process has access to. Access to the filesystem may be local or via a network share protocol such as CIFS.
7.8CVE-2018-16511artifexghostscript+10
EPSS score
1.94%
An issue was discovered in Artifex Ghostscript before 9.24. A type confusion in "ztype" could be used by remote attackers able to supply crafted PostScript to crash the interpreter or possibly have unspecified other impact.
4.7CVE-2018-16888chainguardpy3-systemd+12
EPSS score
0.29%
It was discovered systemd does not correctly check the content of PIDFile files before using it to kill processes. When a service is run from an unprivileged user (e.g. User field set in the service file), a local attacker who is able to write to the PIDFile of the mentioned service may use this flaw to trick systemd into killing other services and/or privileged processes. Versions before v237 are vulnerable.
8.8CVE-2018-16882canonicalubuntu_linux+14
EPSS score
0.36%
A use-after-free issue was found in the way the Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor processed posted interrupts when nested(=1) virtualization is enabled. In nested_get_vmcs12_pages(), in case of an error while processing posted interrupt address, it unmaps the 'pi_desc_page' without resetting 'pi_desc' descriptor address, which is later used in pi_test_and_clear_on(). A guest user/process could use this flaw to crash the host kernel resulting in DoS or potentially gain privileged access to a system. Kernel versions before 4.14.91 and before 4.19.13 are vulnerable.
9.8CVE-2018-16395alpineruby+26
EPSS score
10.71%
An issue was discovered in the OpenSSL library in Ruby before 2.3.8, 2.4.x before 2.4.5, 2.5.x before 2.5.2, and 2.6.x before 2.6.0-preview3. When two OpenSSL::X509::Name objects are compared using ==, depending on the ordering, non-equal objects may return true. When the first argument is one character longer than the second, or the second argument contains a character that is one less than a character in the same position of the first argument, the result of == will be true. This could be leveraged to create an illegitimate certificate that may be accepted as legitimate and then used in signing or encryption operations.
6.5CVE-2018-16750canonicalubuntu_linux+3
EPSS score
2.91%
In ImageMagick 7.0.7-29 and earlier, a memory leak in the formatIPTCfromBuffer function in coders/meta.c was found.
6.5CVE-2018-16642canonicalubuntu_linux+4
EPSS score
3.04%
The function InsertRow in coders/cut.c in ImageMagick 7.0.7-37 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted image file due to an out-of-bounds write.
6.5CVE-2018-16846canonicalubuntu_linux+8
EPSS score
2.14%
It was found in Ceph versions before 13.2.4 that authenticated ceph RGW users can cause a denial of service against OMAPs holding bucket indices.
7.8CVE-2018-16864chainguardpy3-systemd+18
EPSS score
0.71%
An allocation of memory without limits, that could result in the stack clashing with another memory region, was discovered in systemd-journald when a program with long command line arguments calls syslog. A local attacker may use this flaw to crash systemd-journald or escalate his privileges. Versions through v240 are vulnerable.
5.5CVE-2018-16062alpineelfutils+9
EPSS score
1.63%
dwarf_getaranges in dwarf_getaranges.c in libdw in elfutils before 2018-08-18 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read) via a crafted file.
5.5CVE-2018-16435alpinelcms2+13
EPSS score
1.74%
Little CMS (aka Little Color Management System) 2.9 has an integer overflow in the AllocateDataSet function in cmscgats.c, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow in the SetData function via a crafted file in the second argument to cmsIT8LoadFromFile.
7.8CVE-2018-16540artifexghostscript+12
EPSS score
1.56%
In Artifex Ghostscript before 9.24, attackers able to supply crafted PostScript files to the builtin PDF14 converter could use a use-after-free in copydevice handling to crash the interpreter or possibly have unspecified other impact.
9.8CVE-2018-16840alpinecurl+5
EPSS score
3.40%
A heap use-after-free flaw was found in curl versions from 7.59.0 through 7.61.1 in the code related to closing an easy handle. When closing and cleaning up an 'easy' handle in the `Curl_close()` function, the library code first frees a struct (without nulling the pointer) and might then subsequently erroneously write to a struct field within that already freed struct.
6.5CVE-2018-16644canonicalubuntu_linux+4
EPSS score
3.65%
There is a missing check for length in the functions ReadDCMImage of coders/dcm.c and ReadPICTImage of coders/pict.c in ImageMagick 7.0.8-11, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted image.
9.8CVE-2018-16839alpinecurl+18
EPSS score
5.78%
Curl versions 7.33.0 through 7.61.1 are vulnerable to a buffer overrun in the SASL authentication code that may lead to denial of service.
6.5CVE-2018-16640canonicalubuntu_linux+3
EPSS score
2.55%
ImageMagick 7.0.8-5 has a memory leak vulnerability in the function ReadOneJNGImage in coders/png.c.
