Debian Security Advisories

DSA-3347 pdns – security update

Pyry Hakulinen and Ashish Shakla at Automattic discovered that pdns,
an authoritative DNS server, was incorrectly processing some DNS
packets; this would enable a remote attacker to trigger a DoS by
sending specially crafted packets causing the server to crash.

DSA-3343 twig – security update

James Kettle, Alain Tiemblo, Christophe Coevoet and Fabien Potencier
discovered that twig, a templating engine for PHP, did not correctly
process its input. End users allowed to submit twig templates could
use specially crafted code to trigger remote code execution, even in
sandboxed templates.

DSA-3342 vlc – security update

Loren Maggiore of Trail of Bits discovered that the 3GP parser of VLC, a
multimedia player and streamer, could dereference an arbitrary pointer
due to insufficient restrictions on a writable buffer. This could allow
remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted 3GP files.
