Alias Manager. Impact: Users may be misled into opening a substituted file

BIND. Impact: Multiple vulnerabilities in BIND, the most serious of which is remote denial of service

CoreGraphics. Impact: Opening a maliciously crafted PDF file may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution

fetchmail. Impact: fetchmail password disclosure may be possible
