It was discovered that auth2db, an IDS logger, log viewer and alert generator,
is prone to an SQL injection vulnerability, when used with multibyte character
encodings.
It was discovered that nss-ldapd, an NSS module for using
LDAP as a naming service, by default creates the configuration file
/etc/nss-ldapd.conf world-readable which could leak the configured
LDAP password if one is used for connecting to the LDAP server.
Fixed packages are available now.

A flaw was discovered in the Dead Peer Detection (DPD) in the pluto IKE
daemon of Openswan annd strongswan.
A remote attacker could use a malicious DPD packet to crash the pluto daemon.

in an insecure manner. A local attacker could use this flaw to overwrite
arbitrary files owned by the user running the script.
Fixed software is available now.

Local privileged users inside a non-global zone may be able to execute
arbitrary code within a global zone if an mdb process within the
global zone attaches to a non-global zone process. The code would be
executed with the privileges of the user running mdb, which could
potentially be root.
Patches are available now.

The Token authentication module allows access to RSS feeds via a token without having to provide your username and password to the site. Token authentication did not properly use the Drupal Form API which would allow a malicious user to learn the site administrator's token giving them the ability to read any nodes on the site via an RSS feed.
The Wikitools module provides several options to get a more wiki-like behavior for Drupal. On several pages, the Wikitools module prints out a parameter without escaping it. Malicious users are thus able to execute a cross site scripting (XSS) attack when they entice users to visit a specifically crafted URL. This may lead to a malicious user gaining full administrative access.
The Vote Up/Down module provides a voting widget for content that records votes using Ajax.
The URL for voting is vulnerable to cross-site request forgeries (CSRF) making it possible for users to unknowingly vote for content.
Updated software is available now. Please be aware that Drupal core is not affected.

It has been discovered that the snmpd daemon doesn't use TCP wrappers correctly, causing network hosts access restrictions defined in "/etc/hosts.allow" and
"/etc/hosts.deny" to not be honored. A remote attacker could use this flaw to bypass intended access restrictions.
An updated package addresses this issue.

NetworkManager is a network link manager that attempts to keep a wired or wireless network connection active at all times.
An information disclosure flaw was found in NetworkManager's D-Bus interface. A local attacker could leverage this flaw to discover sensitive information, such as network connection passwords and pre-shared keys. Further on, a potential Denial-of-Service flaw was found in NetworkManager's D-Bus interface. A local user could leverage this flaw to modify local connection settings, preventing the system's network connection from functioning properly.
Updated packages are available now.

SystemTap is an instrumentation infrastructure for systems running version 2.6 of the Linux kernel. SystemTap scripts can collect system operations data, greatly simplifying information gathering. Collected data can then assist in performance measuring, functional testing, and performance and function problem diagnosis.
A race condition has been discovered in SystemTap that could allow users in the stapusr group to elevate privileges to that of members of the stapdev group
(and hence root), bypassing directory confinement restrictions and allowing them to insert arbitrary SystemTap kernel modules.
Updated software is available now.

Several security issues have been discovered in lcms, a color management library. They are due to insufficient checks of files, leading to buffer overflows and the execution of arbitrary code. Additionally, a memory leak might lead to a Denial-of-Service condition.
Ghostscript is the GPL Ghostscript PostScript/PDF interpreter. Two different vulnerabilities might lead to the execution of arbitrary code via crafted ICC profiles in PostScript files with embedded images.
Libsoup is a HTTP library implementation written in C and the GLib library of C routines is called glib2.0. Both programs handle strings insecurely via its Base64 encoding functions. This could possibly lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
Fixed software is available now.

Libsoup is an HTTP client/library implementation for GNOME written in C. It was originally part of a SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol).
An integer overflow flaw might cause a heap-based buffer overflow in libsoup's Base64 encoding routine. An attacker could use this flaw to crash, or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. This arbitrary code would execute with the privileges of the application using libsoup's Base64 routine to encode large, untrusted inputs.
Evolution Data Server provides a unified back-end for applications which interact with contacts, task, and calendar information.
It doesn't properly check the Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) signatures used for public key encryption and signing of e-mail messages. An attacker could use this flaw to spoof a signature by modifying the text of the e-mail message displayed to the user.
Further on, it has been discovered that Evolution Data Server doesn't properly validate NTLM (NT LAN Manager) authentication challenge packets. A malicious server using NTLM authentication could cause an application using Evolution Data Server to disclose portions of its memory or crash during user authentication.
Multiple integer overflow flaws might cause heap-based buffer overflows were found in the Base64 encoding routines used by Evolution Data Server. This could cause an application using Evolution Data Server to crash, or, possibly, execute an arbitrary code when large untrusted data blocks were Base64-encoded.
Fixed packages are available now.

It has been discovered that mldonkey, a client for several P2P networks, allows attackers to download arbitrary files using crafted requests to the HTTP console.
Yaws, a high performance HTTP 1.1 webserver, is prone to a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack via a request with a large HTTP header.
Additionally, libsndfile as a library to read and write sampled audio data is prone to an integer overflow. This causes a heap-based buffer overflow when processing crafted CAF description chunks possibly leading to arbitrary code execution.
