DSA-3057 libxml2 – security update

Sogeti found a denial of service flaw in libxml2, a library providing
support to read, modify and write XML and HTML files. A remote attacker
could provide a specially crafted XML file that, when processed by an
application using libxml2, would lead to excessive CPU consumption
(denial of service) based on excessive entity substitutions, even if
entity substitution was disabled, which is the parser default behavior.
(CVE-2014-3660)

[BSA-098] Security update for drupal7

Gunnar Wolf uploaded new packages for Drupal7 which fixed the
following security problems:

CVE 2014-3704 / SA-CORE-2014-005:
   Highly critical: Pre Auth SQL injection

   The expandArguments function in the database abstraction API in
   Drupal core 7.x before 7.32 does not properly construct prepared
   statements, which allows remote attackers to conduct SQL injection
   attacks via an array containing crafted keys.

DSA-3050 iceweasel – security update

Multiple security issues have been found in Iceweasel, Debian’s version
of the Mozilla Firefox web browser: Multiple memory safety errors, buffer
overflows, use-after-frees and other implementation errors may lead to
the execution of arbitrary code, denial of service, the bypass of the
same-origin policy or a loss of privacy.
