DSA-3333 iceweasel – security update

Multiple security issues have been found in Iceweasel, Debian’s version
of the Mozilla Firefox web browser: Multiple memory safety errors,
integer overflows, buffer overflows, use-after-frees and other
implementation errors may lead to the execution of arbitrary code,
bypass of the same-origin policy or denial of service.

DSA-3334 gnutls28 – security update

Kurt Roeckx discovered that decoding a specific certificate with very
long DistinguishedName (DN) entries leads to double free. A remote
attacker can take advantage of this flaw by creating a specially crafted
certificate that, when processed by an application compiled against
GnuTLS, could cause the application to crash resulting in a denial of
service.

Inside The Mind Of Oracle's Mary Ann Davidson

This is a public blog posted by Oracle’s CSO Mary Ann Davidson. It provides a rare glimpse into the corporate mindframe reminding us all that license agreements are always respected by hostile parties and therefore security researchers should not even consider reverse engineering Oracle’s code base. As has been proven time and again, Oracle’s bullet proof unbreakable security does not need public vetting and they consistently can identify and address all issues without your needless meddling.
