[BSA-069] Security Update for NGINX

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi.

I uploaded new packages for nginx which fixed the following security
problems:

CVE-2012-2089 - nginx -- arbitrary code execution in mp4
pseudo-streaming module

A flaw was reported in the nginx standard mp4 pseudo-streaming module. A
specially-crafted mp4 file could allow for the overwriting of memory
locations in a worker process if ngx_http_mp4_module were used. This
could potentially result in arbitrary code execution with the privileges
of the unprivileged nginx user.

This has been corrected in upstream 1.0.15 and 1.1.9 versions, and only
affected versions newer than 1.1.3 and 1.0.7 when built with the
ngx_http_mp4_module and had the "mp4" directive set in the configuration
file.

For the squeeze-backports distribution the problems have been fixed in
version

    1.1.19-1~bpo60+1

For wheezy (testing) and sid (unstable) this was fixed in version

    1.1.19-1

Squeeze (stable) is not vulnerable to this security issue.

Thanks.

WordPress 3.3.2 (and WordPress 3.4 Beta 3)

WordPress 3.3.2 is available now and is a security update for all previous versions.

Three external libraries included in WordPress received security updates:

  • Plupload (version 1.5.4), which WordPress uses for uploading media.
  • SWFUpload, which WordPress previously used for uploading media, and may still be in use by plugins.
  • SWFObject, which WordPress previously used to embed Flash content, and may still be in use by plugins and themes.

Thanks to Neal Poole and Nathan Partlan for responsibly disclosing the bugs in Plupload and SWFUpload, and Szymon Gruszecki for a separate bug in SWFUpload.

WordPress 3.3.2 also addresses:

  • Limited privilege escalation where a site administrator could deactivate network-wide plugins when running a WordPress network under particular circumstances, disclosed by Jon Cave of our WordPress core security team, and Adam Backstrom.
  • Cross-site scripting vulnerability when making URLs clickable, by Jon Cave.
  • Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in redirects after posting comments in older browsers, and when filtering URLs. Thanks to Mauro Gentile for responsibly disclosing these issues to the security team.

These issues were fixed by the WordPress core security team. Five other bugs were also fixed in version 3.3.2. Consult the change log for more details.

Download WordPress 3.3.2 or update now from the Dashboard → Updates menu in your site’s admin area.


WordPress 3.4 Beta 3 also available

Our development of WordPress 3.4 development continues. Today we are proud to release Beta 3 for testing. Nearly 90 changes have been made since Beta 2, released 9 days ago. (We are aiming for a beta every week.)

This is still beta software, so we don’t recommend that you use it on production sites. But if you’re a plugin developer, a theme developer, or a site administrator, you should be running this on your test environments and reporting any bugs you find. (See the known issues here.) If you’re a WordPress user who wants to open your presents early, take advantage of WordPress’s famous 5-minute install and spin up a secondary test site. Let us know what you think!

Version 3.4 Beta 3 includes all of the fixes included in version 3.3.2. Download WordPress 3.4 Beta 3 or use the WordPress Beta Tester plugin.

CVE-2012-0883

envvars (aka envvars-std) in the Apache HTTP Server before 2.4.2 places a zero-length directory name in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse DSO in the current working directory during execution of apachectl. (CVSS:6.9) (Last Update:2013-09-17)

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Apache HTTP Server 2.4.2 Released

          Apache HTTP Server 2.4.2 Released

The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project
are pleased to announce the release of version 2.4.2 of the Apache
HTTP Server ("Apache").  This version of Apache is our 2nd GA
release of the new generation 2.4.x branch of Apache HTTPD and
represents fifteen years of innovation by the project, and is
recommended over all previous releases. This version of Apache is
principally a security and bug fix release, including the following
security fix:

*) SECURITY: CVE-2012-0883 (cve.mitre.org)
  envvars: Fix insecure handling of LD_LIBRARY_PATH that could
  lead to the current working directory to be searched for DSOs.

Apache HTTP Server 2.4.2 is available for download from:

http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

Apache 2.4 offers numerous enhancements, improvements, and performance
boosts over the 2.2 codebase.  For an overview of new features
introduced since 2.4 please see:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/new_features_2_4.html

Please see the CHANGES_2.4 file, linked from the download page, for a
full list of changes. A condensed list, CHANGES_2.4.2 includes only
those changes introduced since the prior 2.4 release.  A summary of all 
of the security vulnerabilities addressed in this and earlier releases 
is available:

http://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_24.html

This release requires the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) version 1.4.x
and APR-Util version 1.4.x. The APR libraries must be upgraded for all
features of httpd to operate correctly.

This release builds on and extends the Apache 2.2 API.  Modules written
for Apache 2.2 will need to be recompiled in order to run with Apache
2.4, and require minimal or no source code changes.

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/VERSIONING

When upgrading or installing this version of Apache, please bear in mind
that if you intend to use Apache with one of the threaded MPMs (other
than the Prefork MPM), you must ensure that any modules you will be
using (and the libraries they depend on) are thread-safe.

NOTE to Windows users: AcceptFilter None has replaced Win32DisableAcceptEx 
  and the feature appears to have interoperability issues with mod_ssl.
  Apache 2.4.2 may not yet be suitable for all Windows servers.  There 
  is not yet a Windows binary distribution of httpd 2.4, but this is
  expected to be remedied soon as various dependencies graduate from
  beta to GA.
