RECENT VULNERABILITIES FOR WHICH EXPLOITS ARE AVAILABLE COMPILED BY THE QUALYS VULNERABILITY RESEARCH TEAM

This is a list of recent vulnerabilities for which exploits are
available. System administrators can use this list to help in
prioritization of their remediation activities. The Qualys Vulnerability
Research Team compiles this information based on various exploit
frameworks, exploit databases, exploit kits and monitoring of internet
activity.

ID: CVE-2015-1486
Title: Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager Authentication Bypass
Vendor: Symantec
Description: The management console in Symantec Endpoint Protection
Manager (SEPM) 12.1 before 12.1-RU6-MP1 allows remote attackers to

ID: CVE-2015-0816
Title: Mozilla Firefox “resource:// document” Design Error Privilege
Escalation Vulnerability
Vendor: Mozilla Firefox
Description: Mozilla Firefox before 37.0, Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.6,
and Thunderbird before 31.6 do not properly restrict resource: URLs,
which makes it easier for remote attackers to execute arbitrary
JavaScript code with chrome privileges by leveraging the ability to
bypass the Same Origin Policy, as demonstrated by the resource: URL
associated with PDF.js.
CVSS v2 Base Score: 5.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)

ID: CVE-2015-0802
Title: Mozilla Firefox Privileged Window Design Error Security Bypass
Vulnerability
Vendor: Mozilla Firefox
Description: Mozilla Firefox before 37.0 relies on docshell type
information instead of page principal information for Window.webidl
access control, which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary
JavaScript code with chrome privileges via certain content navigation
that leverages the reachability of a privileged window with an
unintended persistence of access to restricted internal methods.
CVSS v2 Base Score: 5.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)

ID: CVE-2014-6332

Gold and 8.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a
crafted web site, as demonstrated by an array-redimensioning attempt
that triggers improper handling of a size value in the SafeArrayDimen
function, aka “Windows OLE Automation Array Remote Code Execution
Vulnerability.”

Adobe AIR before 17.0.0.172, Adobe AIR SDK before 17.0.0.172, and Adobe
AIR SDK & Compiler before 17.0.0.172 allow attackers to execute
arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via
unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-3078,
CVE-2015-3089, and CVE-2015-3093.
CVSS v2 Base Score: 10.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C)
