Mandriva Linux


Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:069
http://www.mandriva.com/security/


Package : openvpn
Date : April 10, 2006
Affected: 2006.0, Multi Network Firewall 2.0


Problem Description:

A vulnerability in OpenVPN 2.0 through 2.0.5 allows a malicious server to execute arbitrary code on the client by using setenv with the LD_PRELOAD environment variable.

Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue by removing setenv support.

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:070
http://www.mandriva.com/security/


Package : sash
Date : April 10, 2006
Affected: 10.2, 2006.0, Corporate 3.0, Multi Network Firewall 2.0


Problem Description:

Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Security Project discovered a vulnerability in zlib where a certain data stream would cause zlib to corrupt a data structure, resulting in the linked application to dump core (CVE-2005-2096).

Markus Oberhumber discovered additional ways that a specially-crafted compressed stream could trigger an overflow. An attacker could create such a stream that would cause a linked application to crash if opened by a user (CVE-2005-1849).

Both of these issues have previously been fixed in zlib, but sash links statically against zlib and is thus also affected by these issues. New sash packages are available that link against the updated zlib packages.

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:071
http://www.mandriva.com/security/


Package : xscreensaver
Date : April 11, 2006
Affected: Corporate 3.0


Problem Description:

Rdesktop, with xscreensaver < 4.18, does not release the keyboard focus when xscreensaver starts, which causes the password to be entered into the active window when the user unlocks the screen.

Updated xscreensaver packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Ubuntu Linux


Ubuntu Security Notice USN-269-1 April 11, 2006
xscreensaver vulnerability
CVE-2004-2655

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)
Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)

The following packages are affected:

xscreensaver
xscreensaver-gl
xscreensaver-gnome
xscreensaver-nognome

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 4.16-1ubuntu3.1 (for Ubuntu 4.10), or 4.16-1ubuntu11.1 (for Ubuntu 5.04). After a standard system upgrade you need to restart your session to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

In some cases, xscreensaver did not properly grab the keyboard when reading the password for unlocking the screen, so that the password was typed into the currently active application window.

The only known vulnerable case was when xscreensaver activated while an rdesktop session was currently active.

Updated packages for Ubuntu 4.10:
