CVE-2016-2143
HighSummary
The fork implementation in the Linux kernel before version 4.5 on s390 platforms mishandles the case of four page-table levels, allowing local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted application.
Risk Assessment
This vulnerability may lead to system crashes, affecting the availability of services within the organization. There is also a risk of unspecified impacts on the system, which could lead to further security issues.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to version 4.5 or newer to mitigate this vulnerability. Additionally, monitor systems for suspicious applications that may attempt to exploit this flaw.

In Group-Office, the Contact/labels JMAP endpoint accepts an attacker-controlled tpl parameter passed without restriction to TemplateParser::parse(). When the template contains an [assign] block with a {{...}} variable reference, the engine calls eval() on the expanded expression, and the validation guard can be bypassed to invoke arbitrary PHP functions such as system("id"). A single authenticated HTTP request is sufficient to execute arbitrary OS commands as the web server user.

In rabbitmq-c before version 0.17.0, a heap buffer overflow exists when the public amqp_send_frame() API serializes an oversized AMQP_FRAME_BODY. amqp_frame_to_bytes() copies frame.payload.body_fragment.len bytes into the connection outbound buffer without validating that the body fragment fits within the allocated frame buffer. An application passing an oversized body frame can trigger a heap out-of-bounds write, causing a process crash and memory corruption.
