Debian Security Advisories

DSA-3217 dpkg – security update

Jann Horn discovered that the source package integrity verification in
dpkg-source can be bypassed via a specially crafted Debian source
control file (.dsc). Note that this flaw only affects extraction of
local Debian source packages via dpkg-source but not the installation of
packages from the Debian archive.

DSA-3214 mailman – security update

A path traversal vulnerability was discovered in Mailman, the mailing
list manager. Installations using a transport script (such as
postfix-to-mailman.py) to interface with their MTA instead of static
aliases were vulnerable to a path traversal attack. To successfully
exploit this, an attacker needs write access on the local file system.

DSA-3212 icedove – security update

Multiple security issues have been found in Icedove, Debian’s version of
the Mozilla Thunderbird mail client: Multiple memory safety errors,
use-after-frees and other implementation errors may lead to the
execution of arbitrary code, the bypass of security restrictions or
denial of service.

DSA-3211 iceweasel – security update

Multiple security issues have been found in Iceweasel, Debian’s version
of the Mozilla Firefox web browser: Multiple memory safety errors,
use-after-frees and other implementation errors may lead to the
execution of arbitrary code, the bypass of security restrictions, denial
of service or cross-site request forgery.
