- An unspecified flaw exists that allows an attacker to bypass restrictions and upload arbitrary files. (CVE-2015-0340)

- Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities exist that can allow an attacker to dereference memory which has already been freed and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-0341, CVE-2015-0342)
