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.

Debian Security Advisories
DSA-3049 wireshark – security update
Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in the dissectors/parsers for
RTP, MEGACO, Netflow, RTSP, SES and Sniffer, which could result in denial
of service.
DSA-3047 rsyslog – security update
Mancha discovered a vulnerability in rsyslog, a system for log
processing. This vulnerability is an integer overflow that can be
triggered by malformed messages to a server, if this one accepts data
from untrusted sources, provoking message loss, denial of service and, potentially, remote code execution.
DSA-3048 apt – security update
Guillem Jover discovered that the changelog retrieval functionality in
apt-get used temporary files in an insecure way, allowing a local user
to cause arbitrary files to be overwritten.
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.
DSA-3044 qemu-kvm – security update
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in qemu-kvm, a full
virtualization solution on x86 hardware:
DSA-3045 qemu – security update
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in qemu, a fast processor
emulator:
DSA-3042 exuberant-ctags – security update
Stefano Zacchiroli discovered a vulnerability in exuberant-ctags, a tool
to build tag file indexes of source code definitions: Certain JavaScript
files cause ctags to enter an infinite loop until it runs out of disk
space, resulting in denial of service.
DSA-3041 xen – security update
Multiple security issues have been discovered in the Xen virtualisation
solution which may result in denial of service, information disclosure
or privilege escalation.
DSA-3040 rsyslog – security update
Rainer Gerhards, the rsyslog project leader, reported a vulnerability in
Rsyslog, a system for log processing. As a consequence of this
vulnerability an attacker can send malformed messages to a server, if
this one accepts data from untrusted sources, and trigger a denial of
service attack.
