Debian Security Advisories

DSA-3816 samba – security update

Jann Horn of Google discovered a time-of-check, time-of-use race
condition in Samba, a SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix. A
malicious client can take advantage of this flaw by exploting a symlink
race to access areas of the server file system not exported under a
share definition.

DSA-3812 ioquake3 – security update

It was discovered that ioquake3, a modified version of the ioQuake3 game
engine performs insufficent restrictions on automatically downloaded
content (pk3 files or game code), which allows malicious game servers to
modify configuration settings including driver settings.

DSA-3811 wireshark – security update

It was discovered that wireshark, a network protocol analyzer, contained
several vulnerabilities in the dissectors for ASTERIX, DHCPv6,
NetScaler, LDSS, IAX2, WSP, K12 and STANAG 4607, that could lead to
various crashes, denial-of-service or execution of arbitrary code.
