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).

MDVSA-2014:184: net-snmp

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).

MDVSA-2014:191: perl-XML-DT

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).

MDVSA-2014:194: phpmyadmin

A vulnerability has been discovered and corrected in phpmyadmin:

With a crafted ENUM value it is possible to trigger an XSS in table
search and table structure pages (CVE-2014-7217).

This upgrade provides the latest phpmyadmin version (4.2.9.1) to
address this vulnerability.

MDVSA-2014:195: libvirt

Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in libvirt:

An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the way libvirt’s
qemuDomainGetBlockIoTune() function looked up the disk index in
a non-persistent (live) disk configuration while a persistent disk
configuration was being indexed. A remote attacker able to establish a
read-only connection to libvirtd could use this flaw to crash libvirtd
or, potentially, leak memory from the libvirtd process (CVE-2014-3633).

A denial of service flaw was found in the way libvirt’s
virConnectListAllDomains() function computed the number of used
domains. A remote attacker able to establish a read-only connection
to libvirtd could use this flaw to make any domain operations within
libvirt unresponsive (CVE-2014-3657).

The updated libvirt packages have been upgraded to the 1.1.3.6 version
and patched to resolve these security flaws.
