Linux Kernel recvmmsg Privilege Escalation
The compat_sys_recvmmsg function in net/compat.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13.2, when CONFIG_X86_X32 is enabled, allows local users to gain privileges via a recvmmsg system call with a crafted timeout pointer parameter.

Linux Kernel < 2.6.32-rc6 - Race Condition in Pipe Handling via /proc/*/fd/ Pathname
Multiple race conditions in fs/pipe.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32-rc6 allow local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or gain privileges by attempting to open an anonymous pipe via a /proc/*/fd/ pathname.

PHP < 5.3.13 and 5.4.x < 5.4.3 - Denial of Service via Malformed CGI Query String
sapi/cgi/cgi_main.c in PHP before 5.3.13 and 5.4.x before 5.4.3, when configured as a CGI script (aka php-cgi), does not properly handle query strings that lack an = (equals sign) character, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) by placing command-line options in the query string, related to lack of skipping a certain php_getopt for the 'T' case. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-1823.

FreeBSD Intel SYSRET Privilege Escalation
The x86-64 kernel system-call functionality in Xen 4.1.2 and earlier, as used in Citrix XenServer 6.0.2 and earlier and other products; Oracle Solaris 11 and earlier; illumos before r13724; Joyent SmartOS before 20120614T184600Z; FreeBSD before 9.0-RELEASE-p3; NetBSD 6.0 Beta and earlier; Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 and R2 SP1 and Windows 7 Gold and SP1; and possibly other operating systems, when running on an Intel processor, incorrectly uses the sysret path in cases where a certain address is not a canonical address, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application. NOTE: because this issue is due to incorrect use of the Intel specification, it should have been split into separate identifiers; however, there was some value in preserving the original mapping of the multi-codebase coordinated-disclosure effort to a single identifier.

GNU C Library <2.17 - Buffer Overflow
The PTR_MANGLE implementation in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.4, 2.17, and earlier, and Embedded GLIBC (EGLIBC) does not initialize the random value for the pointer guard, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to control execution flow by leveraging a buffer-overflow vulnerability in an application and using the known zero value pointer guard to calculate a pointer address.

WatchGuard Server Center <= 11.7.4 - Untrusted Search Path Privilege Escalation via wgpr.dll
Multiple untrusted search path vulnerabilities in (1) Watchguard Log Collector (wlcollector.exe) and (2) Watchguard WebBlocker Server (wbserver.exe) in WatchGuard Server Center 11.7.4, 11.7.3, and possibly earlier allow local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse wgpr.dll file in the application's bin directory.

Linux Kernel < 3.7.6 - Local Privilege Escalation via MSR Device Access
The msr_open function in arch/x86/kernel/msr.c in the Linux kernel before 3.7.6 allows local users to bypass intended capability restrictions by executing a crafted application as root, as demonstrated by msr32.c.

Symantec Workspace Virtualization <6.4.1953.0 - Privilege Escalation
Symantec Workspace Virtualization before 6.x before 6.4.1953.0, when a virtual application layer is configured, allows local users to gain privileges via an application that performs crafted interaction with the operating system.

FreeBSD 9 Address Space Manipulation Privilege Escalation
The vm_map_lookup function in sys/vm/vm_map.c in the mmap implementation in the kernel in FreeBSD 9.0 through 9.1-RELEASE-p4 does not properly determine whether a task should have write access to a memory location, which allows local users to bypass filesystem write permissions and consequently gain privileges via a crafted application that leverages read permissions, and makes mmap and ptrace system calls.

Linux Kernel < 3.0.75 - Local Privilege Escalation via perf_event_open System Call
The perf_swevent_init function in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.9 uses an incorrect integer data type, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted perf_event_open system call.

Microsoft Windows - Denial of Service via EPATHOBJ::bFlatten Path Traversal
The EPATHOBJ::bFlatten function in win32k.sys in Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and SP3, Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, and Windows RT does not check whether linked-list traversal is continually accessing the same list member, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (infinite traversal) via vectors that trigger a crafted PATHRECORD chain.

rrdtool 1.4.7 - Denial of Service via Format String Specifiers in rrdtool.graph
Format string vulnerability in the rrdtool module 1.4.7 for Python, as used in Zenoss, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via format string specifiers to the rrdtool.graph function.

Linux Kernel < 3.8.9 - Privilege Escalation via uid_map and gid_map File Handling
kernel/user_namespace.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.9 does not have appropriate capability requirements for the uid_map and gid_map files, which allows local users to gain privileges by opening a file within an unprivileged process and then modifying the file within a privileged process.

Linux Kernel < 3.0.75 - Local Privilege Escalation via perf_event_open System Call
The perf_swevent_init function in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.9 uses an incorrect integer data type, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted perf_event_open system call.

sudo 1.8.0-1.8.3p1 - Local Use-After-Free via Format String in sudo_debug
Format string vulnerability in the sudo_debug function in Sudo 1.8.0 through 1.8.3p1 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via format string sequences in the program name for sudo.

Linux Kernel < 3.4.34 - Local Privilege Escalation via Netlink Message Family Value
Array index error in the __sock_diag_rcv_msg function in net/core/sock_diag.c in the Linux kernel before 3.7.10 allows local users to gain privileges via a large family value in a Netlink message.

Linux Kernel < 3.8.4 - Local Privilege Escalation via SCTP_GET_ASSOC_STATS Getsockopt
The sctp_getsockopt_assoc_stats function in net/sctp/socket.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.4 does not validate a size value before proceeding to a copy_from_user operation, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application that contains an SCTP_GET_ASSOC_STATS getsockopt system call.

VMware Workstation 8.x-9.x, Fusion 4.1-5.0, View 4.x-5.x, ESXi 4.0-5.1, ESX 4.0-4.1 Privilege Escalation
The Virtual Machine Communication Interface (VMCI) implementation in vmci.sys in VMware Workstation 8.x before 8.0.5 and 9.x before 9.0.1 on Windows, VMware Fusion 4.1 before 4.1.4 and 5.0 before 5.0.2, VMware View 4.x before 4.6.2 and 5.x before 5.1.2 on Windows, VMware ESXi 4.0 through 5.1, and VMware ESX 4.0 and 4.1 does not properly restrict memory allocation by control code, which allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors.
