Microsoft Windows Metafile format images are graphical files and Microsoft Windows contains routines for displaying
these files. Due to a lack of input validation in one of these routines may allow a buffer overflow to occur, and
in turn may allow remote arbitrary code execution with the rights of the Windows user.
Current public exploits use the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer (SHIMGVW.DLL) as an attack vector affecting
users of any Windows-based application that can handle Windows Metafiles.
Until now, no patch is available.

The GdkPixBuf library provides a number of features.
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the handling of libXpm for gdk-pixbuf.
Additionally, the gtk+ package contains the GIMP ToolKit (GTK+), a library for creating graphical user interfaces
for the X Window System. Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in the handling of libXpm for gtk2.
Both vulnerabilities may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via malformed XPM image files.
OpenSSH is a free version of the SSH protocol suite of network connectivity tools.
The sshd in OpenSSH, when GSSAPIDelegateCredentials is enabled, allows GSSAPI credentials to be delegated to
clients who log in using non-GSSAPI methods, which could cause those credentials to be exposed to untrusted
users or hosts. So access controls can be bypassed.
Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for web clients.
It allows remote attackers to cause a Denial-of-Service (crash) via certain crafted requests.
Updated packages solve these problems.

McAfee VirusScan is an anti-virus software.
Remote exploitation of an access control vulnerability in McAfee Security Center allows attackers to create
or overwrite arbitrary files.
The vulnerability is due to a registered ActiveX control failing to restrict which domains may load the
control for execution.
MCINSCTL.DLL as included with McAfee Security Center exports an object for logging called MCINSTALL.McLog.
The McLog object is designed to allow Security Center to log to a file through the StartLog and AddLog methods.
McAfee fails to restrict the ActiveX control from being loaded in arbitrary domains.
As such, attackers can create a specially crafted web page utilizing the McLog object to create
arbitrary files.
This attack can lead to arbitrary code execution by a remote attacker.
McAfee previously released updates to SecurityCenter that resolve this issue.

A buffer overflow in xloadimage might allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long
title name in a NIFF file, which triggers the overflow during zoom, reduce, or rotate operations.
The wu_fnmatch function in wu_fnmatch.c of the wu-ftpd allows remote attackers to cause a Denial-of-Service
(CPU exhaustion by recursion) via a glob pattern with a large number of * (wildcard) characters, which can
e.g. provided with the dir command.
TCP doesn't adequately validate segments before updating timestamp value, allowing a remote attacker to
arbitrarily modify host timestamp values that will in turn cause TCP connections to abort/drop segments,
leading to a Denial-of-Service condition.
Updated packages solve these problems.

A new cumulative security rollup contains security patches potential vulnerabilities.
ColdFusion Sandbox security relies on the Java SecurityManager.
When ColdFusion is running on a JRun 4 cluster member and the SecurityManager is disabled,
Sandbox security silently fails without throwing an exception.
With Sandbox security disabled a remote attacker using an application setup to use Sandbox
security could potentially bypass security controls.
Additionally, an application written to use the CFMAIL tag could be used to attach arbitrary files
and send mail with any content. This is due to weak input validation in the "Subject" field.
Setting CFOBJECT /CreateObject(Java) to be disabled in Sandbox security has no effect,
still allowing a local attacker to create an object.
Finally, the password hash used to authenticate the ColdFusion Administrator is exposed via an API call,
allowing a local developer to obtain the hash and authenticate as Administrator.

Trend Micro Server Protect is a centrally managed solution for Anti-Virus.
Three vulnerabilities have been detected in the Management Console 5.58 running with Trend Micro
Control Manager 2.5/3.0 and Trend Micro damage Cleanup Server 1.1.
The first is reasoned by the handling of the IMAGE parameter in the script rptserver.asp. When supplying
special data, an attacker is able to have a remote view on all files on the system.
Two other vulnerabilities give remote attackers the chance to execute arbitrary code on the system with
the rights of the web server.
Providing relay.dll or isaNVWRequest.dll with special content, the heap will be damaged and the supplied code
will be executed.
Finally, a remote Denial-of-Service against the EarthAgent Daemon is possible by sending specially crafted
packets to port 5005/tcp.
For the fourth vulnerability, a patch is available.
The others can be fixed by workarounds described in the concerning advisory.
