A local privilege escalation vulnerability was found on polkit's pkexec utility. The pkexec application is a setuid tool designed to allow unprivileged users to run commands as privileged users according predefined policies. The current version of pkexec doesn't handle the calling parameters count correctly and ends trying to execute environment variables as commands. An attacker can leverage this by crafting environment variables in such a way it'll induce pkexec to execute arbitrary code. When successfully executed the attack can cause a local privilege escalation given unprivileged users administrative rights on the target machine.

Google V8 before 3.14.5.3, as used in Google Chrome before 24.0.1312.52, does not properly implement garbage collection, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code.

Google V8 before 3.13.7.5, as used in Google Chrome before 23.0.1271.64, does not properly perform write operations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.

Google V8 before 3.13.7.5, as used in Google Chrome before 23.0.1271.64, on 64-bit Linux platforms allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code that triggers an out-of-bounds access to an array.

Heap-based buffer overflow in src/jsregexp.cc in Google V8 before 1.1.10.14, as used in Google Chrome before 2.0.172.37, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the Chrome sandbox via a crafted JavaScript regular expression.
