Details: Wen Xu and wushi of KeenTeam discovered that users allowed to create ping sockets can use them to crash the system and, on 32-bit architectures, for privilege escalation. However, by default, no users on a Debian system have access to ping sockets. [dsa-3290]

Details: A path traversal vulnerability was found in the WifiHs20UtilityService. This service is running on a Samsung S6 Edge device, and may be present on other Samsung device models. WifiHs20UtilityService reads any files placed in /sdcard/Download/cred.zip, and unzips this file into /data/bundle. Directory traversal in the path of the zipped contents allows an attacker to write a controlled file to an arbitrary path as the system user. [citation-needed]
