Gjoko Krstic of Zero Science Labs discovered that dcmtk, a collection
of libraries implementing the DICOM standard, did not properly handle
the size of data received from the network. This could lead to
denial-of-service (via application crash) or arbitrary code execution.

Debian Security Advisories
DSA-3748 libcrypto++ – security update
Gergely Gábor Nagy from Tresorit discovered that libcrypto++, a C++
cryptographic library, contained a bug in several ASN.1 parsing
routines. This would allow an attacker to remotely cause a denial of
service.
DSA-3747 exim4 – security update
Bjoern Jacke discovered that Exim, Debian’s default mail transfer agent,
may leak the private DKIM signing key to the log files if specific
configuration options are met.
DSA-3745 squid3 – security update
Saulius Lapinskas from Lithuanian State Social Insurance Fund Board
discovered that Squid3, a fully featured web proxy cache, does not
properly process responses to If-None-Modified HTTP conditional
requests, leading to client-specific Cookie data being leaked to other
clients. A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to discover
private and sensitive information about another clients browsing
session.
DSA-3746 graphicsmagick – security update
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in GraphicsMagick, a
collection of image processing tool, which can cause denial of service
attacks, remote file deletion, and remote command execution.
DSA-3744 libxml2 – security update
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in libxml2, a library providing
support to read, modify and write XML and HTML files. A remote attacker
could provide a specially crafted XML or HTML file that, when processed
by an application using libxml2, would cause a denial-of-service against
the application, or potentially, the execution of arbitrary code with
the privileges of the user running the application.
DSA-3743 python-bottle – security update
It was discovered that bottle, a WSGI-framework for the Python
programming language, did not properly filter “rn” sequences when
handling redirections. This allowed an attacker to perform CRLF
attacks such as HTTP header injection.
DSA-3742 flightgear – security update
It was discovered that the Flight Gear flight simulator performs
insufficient sanitising of Nasal scripts which allows a malicious script
to overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user running
Flight Gear.
DSA-3741 tor – security update
It was discovered that Tor, a connection-based low-latency anonymous
communication system, may read one byte past a buffer when parsing
hidden service descriptors. This issue may enable a hostile hidden
service to crash Tor clients depending on hardening options and malloc
implementation.
DSA-3740 samba – security update
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Samba, a SMB/CIFS file,
print, and login server for Unix. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project identifies the following issues:
