Debian Security Advisories

DSA-3512 libotr – security update

Markus Vervier of X41 D-Sec GmbH discovered an integer overflow
vulnerability in libotr, an off-the-record (OTR) messaging library, in
the way how the sizes of portions of incoming messages were stored. A
remote attacker can exploit this flaw by sending crafted messages to an
application that is using libotr to perform denial of service attacks
(application crash), or potentially, execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user running the application.

DSA-3510 iceweasel – security update

Multiple security issues have been found in Iceweasel, Debian’s version
of the Mozilla Firefox web browser: Multiple memory safety errors,
buffer overflows, use-after-frees and other implementation errors may
lead to the execution of arbitrary code, denial of service, address bar
spoofing and overwriting local files.

DSA-3504 bsh – security update

Alvaro Muñoz and Christian Schneider discovered that BeanShell, an
embeddable Java source interpreter, could be leveraged to execute
arbitrary commands: applications including BeanShell in their
classpath are vulnerable to this flaw if they deserialize data from an
untrusted source.

DSA-3505 wireshark – security update

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in the dissectors/parsers for
Pcapng, NBAP, UMTS FP, DCOM, AllJoyn, T.38, SDP, NLM, DNS, BED, SCTP,
802.11, DIAMETER, VeriWave, RVSP, ANSi A, GSM A, Ascend, NBAP, ZigBee ZCL
and Sniffer which could result in denial of service.
