This would also disable ssl certificate host name checks when it should have only disabled verification of the certificate trust chain.
2c78af201db1bef05c4d5d012d53ff1328f14122e461d40a5c38c8ccb71ff218Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2013-277 - lighttpd before 1.4.34, when SNI is enabled, configures weak SSL ciphers, which makes it easier for remote attackers to hijack sessions by inserting packets into the client-server data stream or obtain sensitive information by sniffing the network. In lighttpd before 1.4.34, if setuid() fails for any reason, for instance if an environment limits the number of processes a user can have and the target uid already is at the limit, lighttpd will run as root. A user who can run CGI scripts could clone() often; in this case a lighttpd restart would end up with lighttpd running as root, and the CGI scripts would run as root too. In lighttpd before 1.4.34, if fam is enabled and there are directories reachable from configured doc roots and aliases on which FAMMonitorDirectory fails, a remote client could trigger a DoS.
6d54d7717fee044facf5cc6be20d74bfb730c37e562ce656133448445748efeeRed Hat Security Advisory 2013-1537-02 - Augeas is a utility for editing configuration. Augeas parses configuration files in their native formats and transforms them into a tree. Configuration changes are made by manipulating this tree and saving it back into native configuration files. Augeas also uses "lenses" as basic building blocks for establishing the mapping from files into the Augeas tree and back. Multiple flaws were found in the way Augeas handled configuration files when updating them. An application using Augeas to update configuration files in a directory that is writable to by a different user could have been tricked into overwriting arbitrary files or leaking information via a symbolic link or mount point attack.

This can be very useful for recovering from certain types of system failures, particularly those involving broken shared libraries. It was found that the mdev BusyBox utility could create certain directories within /dev with world-writable permissions. A local unprivileged user could use this flaw to manipulate portions of the /dev directory tree.
e68d2419d57c7ca8dada3cf88ba57c5bee78499d769dbb5a53284a76bc38f5fdRed Hat Security Advisory 2013-1701-02 - The sudo utility allows system administrators to give certain users the ability to run commands as root. A flaw was found in the way sudo handled time stamp files. An attacker able to run code as a local user and with the ability to control the system clock could possibly gain additional privileges by running commands that the victim user was allowed to run via sudo, without knowing the victim's password. It was found that sudo did not properly validate the controlling terminal device when the tty_tickets option was enabled in the /etc/sudoers file. An attacker able to run code as a local user could possibly gain additional privileges by running commands that the victim user was allowed to run via sudo, without knowing the victim's password.
a123845b4cafb94e8438b79697c175656bdf7428c4a06099ba6aeacc46222972Red Hat Security Advisory 2013-1674-02 - The dracut packages include an event-driven initramfs generator infrastructure based on the udev device manager. The virtual file system, initramfs, is loaded together with the kernel at boot time and initializes the system, so it can read and boot from the root partition. It was discovered that dracut created initramfs images as world readable. A local user could possibly use this flaw to obtain sensitive information from these files, such as iSCSI authentication passwords, encrypted root file system crypttab passwords, or other information. This issue was discovered by Peter Jones of the Red Hat Installer Team.
