Package : tutos
Vulnerability : several
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE IDs : CVE-2004-2161 CVE-2004-2162
Debian Bug : 318633

Joxean Koret discovered several security problems in tutos, a web-based team organization software. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2004-2161

An SQL injection vulnerability allows the execution of SQL commands through the link_id parameter in file_overview.php.

CVE-2004-2162

Cross-Site-Scripting vulnerabilities in the search function of the address book and in app_new.php allow the execution of web script code.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain tutos packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.20031017-2+1sarge1.

The unstable distribution (sid) does no longer contain tutos packages.

We recommend that you upgrade your tutos package.

Upgrade Instructions


wget url

will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb

will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below:

apt-get update

will update the internal database apt-get upgrade

will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.

Fedora Legacy Update Advisory

Synopsis: Updated perl-DBI package fixes security issue
Advisory ID: FLSA:178989
Issue date: 2006-03-01
Product: Red Hat Linux, Fedora Core
Keywords: Bugfix
CVE Names: CVE-2005-0077



1. Topic:

An updated perl-DBI package that fixes a temporary file flaw in DBI::ProxyServer is now available.

DBI is a database access Application Programming Interface (API) for the Perl programming language.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386
Red Hat Linux 9 - i386
Fedora Core 1 - i386
Fedora Core 2 - i386

3. Problem description:

The Debian Security Audit Project discovered that the DBI library creates a temporary PID file in an insecure manner. A local user could overwrite or create files as a different user who happens to run an application which uses DBI::ProxyServer. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org/) has assigned the name CVE-2005-0077 to this issue.

Users should update to this erratum package which disables the temporary PID file unless configured.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory only contains the desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via yum and apt. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use yum issue:

yum update

or to use apt:

apt-get update; apt-get upgrade

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. This assumes that you have yum or apt-get configured for obtaining Fedora Legacy content. Please visit http://www.fedoralegacy.org/docs for directions on how to configure yum and apt-get.

Mandriva Linux


Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:052
http://www.mandriva.com/security/


Package : mozilla-thunderbird
Date : March 2, 2006
Affected: 2006.0


Problem Description:

The WYSIWYG rendering engine in Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.7 and earlier allows user-complicit attackers to bypass javascript security settings and obtain sensitive information or cause a crash via an e-mail containing a javascript URI in the SRC attribute of an IFRAME tag, which is executed when the user edits the e-mail.

Updated packages have been patched to address this issue.
