LibreOffice before 4.3.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid write operation and crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted RTF file.

The setup_group function in bfd/elf.c in libbfd in GNU binutils 2.24 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted section group headers in an ELF file.

The HandleRFBServerMessage function in libvncclient/rfbproto.c in LibVNCServer 0.9.9 and earlier does not check certain malloc return values, which allows remote VNC servers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code by specifying a large screen size in a (1) FramebufferUpdate, (2) ResizeFrameBuffer, or (3) PalmVNCReSizeFrameBuffer message.

The sse2_composite_src_x888_8888 function in Pixman, as used in Cairo in Mozilla Firefox 28.0 and SeaMonkey 2.25 on Windows, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and application crash) by painting on a CANVAS element.

The yaml_parser_scan_tag_uri function in scanner.c in LibYAML before 0.1.5 performs an incorrect cast, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted tags in a YAML document, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
