[BSA-107] Security Update for horizon
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Thomas Goirand uploaded new packages for horizon which fixed the following security problem: CVE-2015-3988: Sunil Yadav from IBM Security Services reported a persistent XSS in Horizon. An authenticated user may conduct a persistent XSS attack by setting a malicious metadata to a Glance image, a Nova flavor or a Host Aggregate and tricking an administrator to load the update metadata page. Once executed in a legitimate context this attack may result in a privilege escalation. For the jessie-backports distribution the problems have been fixed in 2015.1.0-2~bpo8+1. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJVZCO3AAoJEPGmQ7akrBn8ZpUP/0wjrxnfZIQRCU6eKtqiOw81 XnEOLBiMj04yI0zVUGX99M6kob1pICU3E+yTE2c78ryalWzHkdEoJ85zbWeeP5HS pNHOexRalYKIz/kdUeuTvkoTFVvUyR2G51OSEDU5vXcw+YHEkhxbKPZUlc++cqm8 f/Qj10Al7HHthcC1guxUhL9gQXq28rEf8Iswok4/QUS/GI7fQea9aljFd8mKjXYm 0kzNiGNP3jfIg5JdI8//YV7er0eux00uFtSID3/iIYynzXttDw/Yn5HWfHxq/oRY 17MxehOULQIQVOLOQ
DSA-3273 tiff – security update
William Robinet and Michal Zalewski discovered multiple vulnerabilities
in the TIFF library and its tools, which may result in denial of
service or the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed TIFF file
is processed.
[BSA-106] Security Update for nbd
Wouter Verhelst uploaded new packages for nbd which fixed the following security problems: CVE-2015-0847 Tuomas Räsänen discovered that nbd-server unsafe signal handling in nbd-server, the server for the Network Block Device protocol, could allow remote attackers to cause a deadlock in the server process and thus a denial of service. CVE-2013-7441 Tuomas Räsänen discovered that the modern-style negotiation was carried out in the main process before forking the actual client handler. This could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (crash) by querying a non-existent export. For the squeeze-backports distribution,the problems have been fixed in version 1:3.2-4~deb7u5~bpo60+1. The wheezy-backports and jessie-backports suites do not contain nbd packages, and therefore are not vulnerable (but see DSA-3271-1).
DSA-3272 ipsec-tools – security update
Javantea discovered a NULL pointer dereference flaw in racoon, the
Internet Key Exchange daemon of ipsec-tools. A remote attacker can use
this flaw to cause the IKE daemon to crash via specially crafted UDP
packets, resulting in a denial of service.
DSA-3271 nbd – security update
Tuomas Räsänen discovered that unsafe signal handling in nbd-server, the
server for the Network Block Device protocol, could allow remote
attackers to cause a deadlock in the server process and thus a denial of
service.
DSA-3268 ntfs-3g – security update
Tavis Ormandy discovered that NTFS-3G, a read-write NTFS driver for
FUSE, does not scrub the environment before executing mount or umount
with elevated privileges. A local user can take advantage of this flaw
to overwrite arbitrary files and gain elevated privileges by accessing
debugging features via the environment that would not normally be safe
for unprivileged users.
DSA-3270 postgresql-9.4 – security update
Several vulnerabilities have been found in PostgreSQL-9.4, a SQL
database system.
DSA-3269 postgresql-9.1 – security update
Several vulnerabilities have been found in PostgreSQL-9.1, a SQL
database system.
DSA-3267 chromium-browser – security update
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the chromium web browser.
