Debian Security Advisories

DSA-3520 icedove – security update

Multiple security issues have been found in Icedove, Debian’s version of
the Mozilla Thunderbird mail client: Multiple memory safety errors,
integer overflows, buffer overflows and other implementation errors may
lead to the execution of arbitrary code or denial of service.

DSA-3512 libotr – security update

Markus Vervier of X41 D-Sec GmbH discovered an integer overflow
vulnerability in libotr, an off-the-record (OTR) messaging library, in
the way how the sizes of portions of incoming messages were stored. A
remote attacker can exploit this flaw by sending crafted messages to an
application that is using libotr to perform denial of service attacks
(application crash), or potentially, execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user running the application.

DSA-3510 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, address bar
spoofing and overwriting local files.
