Multiple buffer overflows in GraphicsMagick before 1.1.7 and
ImageMagick 6.0.7 allow user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of
service and possibly execute execute arbitrary code via (1) a DCM image
that is not properly handled by the ReadDCMImage function in
coders/dcm.c, or (2) a PALM image that is not properly handled by the
ReadPALMImage function in coders/palm.c.
A vulnerability in PostgreSQL 8.1.x allowed remote authenticated users
to cause a Denial of Service (daemon crash) via certain aggregate
functions in an UPDATE statement which were not handled correctly.
Another DoS issue in PostgreSQL 7.4.x, 8.0.x, and 8.1.x allowed remote
authenticated users to crash the daemon via a coercion of an unknown
element to ANYARRAY.
Finally, another vulnerability in 8.1.x could allow a remote
authenticated user to cause a DoS related to duration logging of
V3-protocol Execute message for COMMIT and ROLLBACK statements.
Fixed packages are available now.

An integer overflow has been found in the pixmap handling routines in the Qt
GUI libraries. This could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service and

A stack overflow in Xsupplicant might be exploited by a remote, authenticated user to gain root priviledges on a vulnerable system.
An updated package fixes this problem. Additional code cleanups to fix potential memory leaks are also included.
A race condition in the safe_open function in the Mutt mail client 1.5.12 and earlier, when creating temporary files
in an NFS filesystem, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files due to limitations of the use of the O_EXCL flag
on NFS filesystems.
The mutt_adv_mktemp function in the Mutt mail client 1.5.12 and earlier doesn't properly verify that temporary files
have been created with restricted permissions, which might allow local users to create files with weak permissions
via a race condition between the mktemp and safe_fopen function calls.
Both vulnerability can be fixed with an updated package.
Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the "utf8 combining characters handling" (utf8_handle_comb function in encoding.c)
in screen before 4.0.3 allows user-assisted attackers to cause a Denial-of-Service (crash or hang) via certain UTF8
sequences. So it's recommended to install the updated package.
The CGI library in Ruby 1.8 allows a remote attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service via an HTTP request with a multipart
MIME body that contains an invalid boundary specifier, which would result in an infinite loop and CPU consumption.
Also this problem can be solved by installing an updated package.

The design of the open_basedir feature of PHP that is meant to
disallow access to files outside a set of configured directories
is vulnerable to race conditions.
Obviously there is a little span of time between the check and the
actual open call. During this time span the checked path could
have been altered and point to a file that is forbidden to be
accessed due to open_basedir restrictions.
Workarounds are described in the advisory.

Skype software provides telephone service over IP networks.
Skype for Mac contains a format string vulnerability in the handling of URIs.
By sending a specially crafted URI to Skype, a remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code
with the privileges of the user.
Such a URI can be sent to Skype by convincing a user to view a specially crafted HTML document.
The attacker could also cause Skype to crash.
This vulnerability is addressed in Skype for Mac release 1.5.*.80 or later.

Symantec has a wide range of Anti-Virus and Internet Security products to protect users from viruses and other harmful software.
A vulnerability has been found in the two device drivers NAVENG and NAVEX15.
Exploiting this vulnerability, an attacker can overwrite a user supplied address, including code segments,
with a constant double word value by supplying a specially crafted Irp to the IOCTL handler function.
Successful exploitation allows a local attacker to obtain elevated privileges by exploiting the kernel.
This could allow the attacker to gain control of the affected system.
Symantec has released updated device drivers via LiveUpdate to address this issue.
