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.

DSA-3339 openjdk-6 – security update
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenJDK, an
implementation of the Oracle Java platform, resulting in the execution
of arbitrary code, breakouts of the Java sandbox, information disclosure,
denial of service or insecure cryptography.
DSA-3340 zendframework – security update
Dawid Golunski discovered that when running under PHP-FPM in a threaded
environment, Zend Framework, a PHP framework, did not properly handle
XML data in multibyte encoding. This could be used by remote attackers
to perform an XML External Entity attack via crafted XML data.
DSA-3337 gdk-pixbuf – security update
Gustavo Grieco discovered a heap overflow in the processing of BMP images
which may result in the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed image
is opened.
DSA-3338 python-django – security update
Lin Hua Cheng discovered that a session could be created when anonymously
accessing the django.contrib.auth.views.logout view. This could allow
remote attackers to saturate the session store or cause other users’
session records to be evicted.
DSA-3336 nss – security update
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in nss, the Mozilla Network
Security Service library. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
identifies the following problems:
DSA-3335 request-tracker4 – security update
It was discovered that Request Tracker, an extensible trouble-ticket
tracking system is susceptible to a cross-site scripting attack via the
user and group rights management pages (CVE-2015-5475) and via the
cryptography interface, allowing an attacker with a carefully-crafted
key to inject JavaScript into RT’s user interface. Installations which
use neither GnuPG nor S/MIME are unaffected by the second cross-site
scripting vulnerability.
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.
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-3332 wordpress – security update
Several vulnerabilities have been fixed in WordPress, the popular
blogging engine.
