A regression with the MDVSA-2014:179 advisory was discovered. This
advisory solves the problem by adding the missing get_random_string
function.

Updated net-snmp packages fix security vulnerabilities:

A remote denial-of-service flaw was found in the way snmptrapd handled
certain SNMP traps when started with the -OQ option. If an attacker
sent an SNMP trap containing a variable with a NULL type where an
integer variable type was expected, it would cause snmptrapd to crash
(CVE-2014-3565).

Updated perl-XML-DT package fixes security vulnerability:

The mkxmltype and mkdtskel scripts provided in perl-XML-DT allow
local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a
/tmp/_xml_##### temporary file (CVE-2014-5260).

Updated libgadu packages fix security vulnerability:

Libgadu before 1.12.0 was found to not be performing SSL certificate
validation (CVE-2013-4488).

Updated java-1.7.0-openjdk packages fix an upstream regression:

This update provides IcedTea 2.5.2, which fixes several bugs, most
notably regressions in the previous release which broke Groovy and
several other Java tools and applications.

A flaw was found in the way Bash evaluated certain specially crafted
environment variables. An attacker could use this flaw to override or
bypass environment restrictions to execute shell commands. Certain
services and applications allow remote unauthenticated attackers to
provide environment variables, allowing them to exploit this issue
(CVE-2014-6271).

It was found that the fix for CVE-2014-6271 was incomplete, and
Bash still allowed certain characters to be injected into other
environments via specially crafted environment variables. An
attacker could potentially use this flaw to override or bypass
environment restrictions to execute shell commands. Certain
services and applications allow remote unauthenticated attackers to
provide environment variables, allowing them to exploit this issue
(CVE-2014-7169, CVE-2014-7186, CVE-2014-7187).

Additionally bash has been updated from patch level 37 to 48 using
the upstream patches at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-4.2-patches/
which resolves various bugs.

Updated gnupg packages fix security vulnerability:

The gnupg program before version 1.4.16 is vulnerable to an ELGAMAL
side-channel attack (CVE-2014-5270).

Updated curl packages fix security vulnerabilities:

In cURL before 7.38.0, libcurl can be fooled to both sending cookies
to wrong sites and into allowing arbitrary sites to set cookies for
others. For this problem to trigger, the client application must use
the numerical IP address in the URL to access the site (CVE-2014-3613).

In cURL before 7.38.0, libcurl wrongly allows cookies to be set for Top
Level Domains (TLDs), thus making them apply broader than cookies are
allowed. This can allow arbitrary sites to set cookies that then would
get sent to a different and unrelated site or domain (CVE-2014-3620).

Updated wireshark packages fix security vulnerabilities:

RTP dissector crash (CVE-2014-6421, CVE-2014-6422).

MEGACO dissector infinite loop (CVE-2014-6423).

Netflow dissector crash (CVE-2014-6424).

RTSP dissector crash (CVE-2014-6427).

SES dissector crash (CVE-2014-6428).

Sniffer file parser crash (CVE-2014-6429, CVE-2014-6430, CVE-2014-6431,
CVE-2014-6432).
