FireHOL 2.0.2

FireHOL a simple yet powerful way to configure stateful iptables firewalls. It can be used for almost any purpose, including control of any number of internal/external/virtual interfaces, control of any combination of routed traffic, setting up DMZ routers and servers, and all kinds of NAT. It provides strong protection (flooding, spoofing, etc.), transparent caches, source MAC verification, blacklists, whitelists, and more. Its goal is to be completely abstracted and powerful but also easy to use, audit, and understand.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-0642-01 – Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client. Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-0644-01 – OpenStack Image service provides discovery, registration, and delivery services for disk and server images. It provides the ability to copy or snapshot a server image, and immediately store it away. Stored images can be used as a template to get new servers up and running quickly and more consistently than installing a server operating system and individually configuring additional services. A storage quota bypass flaw was found in OpenStack Image. If an image was deleted while it was being uploaded, it would not count towards a user’s quota. A malicious user could use this flaw to deliberately fill the backing store, and cause a denial of service.

A privileged guest user could use this flaw to write outside of VRAM-allocated buffer boundaries in the host’s QEMU process address space with attacker-provided data. This issue was found by Paolo Bonzini of Red Hat.
