Since version 1.19 Wget stores the URL and in certain cases the 'Referer' URL within extended attributes (xattrs) of the file system - by default. This includes username + password and other credentials or private data *if* those have been used within the URLs. Anyone with read access to
A flaw was found in libgxps through 0.3.0. There is a heap-based buffer over-read in the function ft_font_face_hash of gxps-fonts.c. A crafted input will lead to a remote denial of service attack (CVE-2018-10733). An integer overflow flaw exists within the
A flaw was found in Apache Commons Compress versions 1.11 to 1.15. A specially crafted ZIP archive can be used to cause an infinite loop inside of Apache Commons Compress' extra field parser used by the ZipFile and ZipArchiveInputStream classes in versions 1.11 to 1.15. This can be used to mount a denial of service attack against services
A stack-based buffer overflow in the pgxtoimage function in jpwl/convert.c could crash the converter (CVE-2017-17479). A stack-based buffer overflow in the pgxtovolume function in jp3d/convert.c could crash the converter (CVE-2017-17480).
XML external entity (XXE) vulnerability in the Apache XML-RPC (aka ws-xmlrpc) library 3.1.3, as used in Apache Archiva, allows remote attackers to conduct server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks via a crafted DTD (CVE-2016-5002).
