MDVSA-2014:199: perl

Updated perl and perl-Data-Dumper packages fixes security
vulnerability:

The Dumper method in Data::Dumper before 2.154, allows
context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (stack
consumption and crash) via an Array-Reference with many nested
Array-References, which triggers a large number of recursive calls
to the DD_dump function (CVE-2014-4330).

The Data::Dumper module bundled with perl and the perl-Data-Dumper
packages has been updated to fix this issue.

 Problem Description:

 Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in the Linux
 kernel:
 
 The try_to_unmap_cluster function in mm/rmap.c in the Linux kernel
 before 3.14.3 does not properly consider which pages must be locked,
 which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by
 triggering a memory-usage pattern that requires removal of page-table
 mappings (CVE-2014-3122).
 
 Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the magicmouse_raw_event
 function in drivers/hid/hid-magicmouse.c in the Magic Mouse HID driver

 Problem Description:

 Updated bugzilla packages fix security vulnerabilities:
 
 If a new comment was marked private to the insider group, and a flag
 was set in the same transaction, the comment would be visible to flag
 recipients even if they were not in the insider group (CVE-2014-1571).
 
 An attacker creating a new Bugzilla account can override certain
 parameters when finalizing the account creation that can lead to the
 user being created with a different email address than originally
 requested. The overridden login name could be automatic

 Problem Description:

 Updated rsyslog packages fix security vulnerability:
 
 Rainer Gerhards, the rsyslog project leader, reported a vulnerability
 in Rsyslog. 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 (CVE-2014-3634).

MDVSA-2014:181: dump

Updated dump packages fix security vulnerability:

An integer overflow in liblzo before 2.07 allows attackers to cause
a denial of service or possibly code execution in applications using
performing LZO decompression on a compressed payload from the attacker
(CVE-2014-4607).

The dump package is built with a bundled copy of minilzo, which is
a part of liblzo containing the vulnerable code.

MDVSA-2014:192: perl-Email-Address

Updated perl-Email-Address package fixes security vulnerability:

The parse function in Email::Address module before 1.905 for Perl
uses an inefficient regular expression, which allows remote attackers
to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via an empty quoted
string in an RFC 2822 address (CVE-2014-0477).

The Email::Address module before 1.904 for Perl uses an inefficient
regular expression, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial
of service (CPU consumption) via vectors related to backtracking into
the phrase (CVE-2014-4720).
