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-3176 request-tracker4 – security update
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Request Tracker, an
extensible trouble-ticket tracking system. The Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures project identifies the following problems:
DSA-3174 iceweasel – security update
Multiple security issues have been found in Iceweasel, Debian’s version
of the Mozilla Firefox web browser: Multiple memory safety errors and
implementation errors may lead to the execution of arbitrary code or
information disclosure.
DSA-3173 libgtk2-perl – security update
It was discovered that libgtk2-perl, a Perl interface to the 2.x series
of the Gimp Toolkit library, incorrectly frees memory which GTK+ still
holds onto and might access later, leading to denial of service
(application crash) or, potentially, to arbitrary code execution.
DSA-3172 cups – security update
Peter De Wachter discovered that CUPS, the Common UNIX Printing
System, did not correctly parse compressed raster files. By submitting
a specially crafted raster file, a remote attacker could use this
vulnerability to trigger a buffer overflow.
DSA-3175 kfreebsd-9 – security update
Mateusz Kocielski and Marek Kroemeke discovered that an integer overflow
in IGMP processing may result in denial of service through malformed
IGMP packets.
DSA-3170 linux – security update
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that
may lead to a denial of service, information leaks or privilege
escalation.
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.
