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).
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 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.
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).
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).
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).
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.
