Debian Security Advisories

DSA-3179 icedove – security update

Multiple security issues have been found in Icedove, Debian’s version of
the Mozilla Thunderbird mail and news client: Multiple memory safety
errors and implementation errors may lead to the execution of arbitrary
code or information disclosure.

DSA-3178 unace – security update

Jakub Wilk discovered that unace, an utility to extract, test and view
.ace archives, contained an integer overflow leading to a buffer
overflow. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a
specially crafted ace archive, an attacker could cause a denial of
service (application crash) or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.

DSA-3171 samba – security update

Richard van Eeden of Microsoft Vulnerability Research discovered that
Samba, a SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix, contains a
flaw in the netlogon server code which allows remote code execution with
root privileges from an unauthenticated connection.
