MDVSA-2014:233: wordpress

Updated wordpress package fixes security vulnerabilities:

XSS in wptexturize() via comments or posts, exploitable for
unauthenticated users (CVE-2014-9031).

XSS in media playlists (CVE-2014-9032).

CSRF in the password reset process (CVE-2014-9033).

Denial of service for giant passwords. The phpass library by Solar
Designer was used in both projects without setting a maximum password
length, which can lead to CPU exhaustion upon hashing (CVE-2014-9034).

XSS in Press This (CVE-2014-9035).

XSS in HTML filtering of CSS in posts (CVE-2014-9036).

Hash comparison vulnerability in old-style MD5-stored passwords
(CVE-2014-9037).

SSRF: Safe HTTP requests did not sufficiently block the loopback IP
address space (CVE-2014-9038).

Previously an email address change would not invalidate a previous
password reset email (CVE-2014-9039).

MDVSA-2014:232: glibc

Updated glibc package fixes security vulnerability:

The function wordexp() fails to properly handle the WRDE_NOCMD
flag when processing arithmetic inputs in the form of $((… “))
where … can be anything valid. The backticks in the arithmetic
epxression are evaluated by in a shell even if WRDE_NOCMD forbade
command substitution. This allows an attacker to attempt to pass
dangerous commands via constructs of the above form, and bypass the
WRDE_NOCMD flag. This update fixes the issue (CVE-2014-7817).

MDVSA-2014:230: kernel

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in the Linux
kernel:

The WRMSR processing functionality in the KVM subsystem in the
Linux kernel through 3.17.2 does not properly handle the writing of a
non-canonical address to a model-specific register, which allows guest
OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) by leveraging
guest OS privileges, related to the wrmsr_interception function in
arch/x86/kvm/svm.c and the handle_wrmsr function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c
(CVE-2014-3610).

Race condition in the __kvm_migrate_pit_timer function in
arch/x86/kvm/i8254.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through
3.17.2 allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS
crash) by leveraging incorrect PIT emulation (CVE-2014-3611).

arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before
3.12 does not have an exit handler for the INVEPT instruction, which
allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash)
via a crafted application (CVE-2014-3645).

arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through
3.17.2 does not have an exit handler for the INVVPID instruction,
which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS
crash) via a crafted application (CVE-2014-3646).

arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel
through 3.17.2 does not properly perform RIP changes, which allows
guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) via a
crafted application (CVE-2014-3647).

The SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via
a malformed ASCONF chunk, related to net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c and
net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c (CVE-2014-3673).

The sctp_assoc_lookup_asconf_ack function in net/sctp/associola.c
in the SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) via duplicate
ASCONF chunks that trigger an incorrect uncork within the side-effect
interpreter (CVE-2014-3687).

arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel before
3.17.2 on Intel processors does not ensure that the value in the CR4
control register remains the same after a VM entry, which allows host
OS users to kill arbitrary processes or cause a denial of service
(system disruption) by leveraging /dev/kvm access, as demonstrated by
PR_SET_TSC prctl calls within a modified copy of QEMU (CVE-2014-3690).

kernel/trace/trace_syscalls.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2
does not properly handle private syscall numbers during use of the
perf subsystem, which allows local users to cause a denial of service
(out-of-bounds read and OOPS) or bypass the ASLR protection mechanism
via a crafted application (CVE-2014-7825).

kernel/trace/trace_syscalls.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2
does not properly handle private syscall numbers during use of the
ftrace subsystem, which allows local users to gain privileges or
cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference) via a crafted
application (CVE-2014-7826).

The pivot_root implementation in fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel
through 3.17 does not properly interact with certain locations of
a chroot directory, which allows local users to cause a denial of
service (mount-tree loop) via . (dot) values in both arguments to
the pivot_root system call (CVE-2014-7970).

The kvm_iommu_map_pages function in virt/kvm/iommu.c in the Linux
kernel through 3.17.2 miscalculates the number of pages during
the handling of a mapping failure, which allows guest OS users to
cause a denial of service (host OS page unpinning) or possibly have
unspecified other impact by leveraging guest OS privileges. NOTE: this
vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2014-3601
(CVE-2014-8369).

The updated packages provides a solution for these security issues.

CVE-2014-3407

The SSL VPN implementation in Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software 9.3(.2) and earlier does not properly allocate memory blocks during HTTP packet handling, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via crafted packets, aka Bug ID CSCuq68888.

CVE-2014-4829

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in IBM Security QRadar SIEM and QRadar Risk Manager 7.1 before MR2 Patch 9 and 7.2 before 7.2.4 Patch 1, and QRadar Vulnerability Manager 7.2 before 7.2.4 Patch 1, allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of arbitrary users for requests that insert XSS sequences.
