Debian Security Advisories

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.

DSA-3046 mediawiki – security update

It was reported that MediaWiki, a website engine for collaborative work,
allowed to load user-created CSS on pages where user-created JavaScript
is not allowed. A wiki user could be tricked into performing actions by
manipulating the interface from CSS, or JavaScript code being executed
from CSS, on security-wise sensitive pages like Special:Preferences and
Special:UserLogin. This update removes the separation of CSS and
JavaScript module allowance.
