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

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

Netflow dissector crash (CVE-2014-6424).

MDVSA-2014:189: nss

A vulnerability has been discovered and corrected in Mozilla NSS:

Antoine Delignat-Lavaud, security researcher at Inria Paris in
team Prosecco, reported an issue in Network Security Services (NSS)
libraries affecting all versions. He discovered that NSS is vulnerable
to a variant of a signature forgery attack previously published
by Daniel Bleichenbacher. This is due to lenient parsing of ASN.1
values involved in a signature and could lead to the forging of RSA
certificates (CVE-2014-1568).

The updated NSPR packages have been upgraded to the latest 4.10.7
version.

The updated NSS packages have been upgraded to the latest 3.17.1
version which is not vulnerable to this issue.

Additionally the rootcerts package has also been updated to the latest
version as of 2014-08-05.

MDVA-2014:015: php

This is a maintenance and bugfix release that upgrades php to the
latest 5.5.17 version which resolves various upstream bugs in php.

Additionally, the php-timezonedb packages has been upgraded to the
latest 2014.7 version, the php-suhosin packages has been upgraded to
the latest 0.9.36 version which has better support for php-5.5 and
the PECL packages which requires so has been rebuilt for php-5.5.17.

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).

MDVSA-2014:182: zarafa

Updated zarafa packages fix security vulnerabilities:

Robert Scheck reported that Zarafa’s WebAccess stored session
information, including login credentials, on-disk in PHP session
files. This session file would contain a user’s username and password
to the Zarafa IMAP server (CVE-2014-0103).

Robert Scheck discovered that the Zarafa Collaboration Platform has
multiple incorrect default permissions (CVE-2014-5447, CVE-2014-5448,
CVE-2014-5449, CVE-2014-5450).

MDVSA-2014:193: xerces-j2

A resource consumption issue was found in the way Xerces-J handled
XML declarations. A remote attacker could use an XML document with
a specially crafted declaration using a long pseudo-attribute name
that, when parsed by an application using Xerces-J, would cause that
application to use an excessive amount of CPU (CVE-2013-4002).

MDVSA-2014:183: phpmyadmin

Updated phpmyadmin package fixes security vulnerability:

In phpMyAdmin before 4.2.9, by deceiving a logged-in user to click on
a crafted URL, it is possible to perform remote code execution and in
some cases, create a root account due to a DOM based XSS vulnerability
in the micro history feature (CVE-2014-6300).
