Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: afs: Fix the setting of the server responding flag In afs_wait_for_operation(), we set transcribe the call responded flag to
the server record that we used after doing the fileserver iteration loop -
but it's possible to exit the loop having had a response from the server
that we've discarded (e.g. it returned an abort or we started receiving
data, but the call didn't complete). This means that op->server might be NULL, but we don't check that before
attempting to set the server flag.

Michael Randrianantenaina discovered that the Bluetooth driver in the Linux Kernel contained an improper access control vulnerability. A nearby attacker could use this to connect a rougue device and possibly execute arbitrary code. Attila Szász discovered that the HFS+ file system implementation in the Linux Kernel contained a heap overflow vulnerability. An attacker could use a specially crafted file system image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
