Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability

CVE-2016-0002 [HIGH] Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability
Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability
Description: A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the scripting engine handles objects in memory in Internet Explorer. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could take control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a specially crafted websi

CVE-2016-0002 [HIGH] CWE-119 GHSA-2mwm-2v2m-5w53: The Microsoft (1) VBScript 5
The Microsoft (1) VBScript 5.7 and 5.8 and (2) JScript 5.7 and 5.8 engines, as used in Internet Explorer 8 through 11 and other products, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site, aka "Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability."

CVE-2016-8650 [MEDIUM] mpi: Fix NULL ptr dereference in mpi_powm() [ver #3]
mpi: Fix NULL ptr dereference in mpi_powm() [ver #3]
This fixes CVE-2016-8650.
If mpi_powm() is given a zero exponent, it wants to immediately return
either 1 or 0, depending on the modulus. However, if the result was
initalised with zero limb space, no limbs space is allocated and a
NULL-pointer exception ensues.
Fix this by allocating a minimal amount of limb space for the result when
the 0-exponent case when the result is 1 and not touching the limb space
when the result is 0.
This affects the use of RSA keys and X.509 certificates that carry them.
