Advisories, April 24, 2006Apr 25, 2006, 04:45 (0 Talkback[s])Debian GNU/LinuxDebian Security Advisory DSA 1039-1 security@debian.org Package : blender Several vulnerabilities have been discoverd in in blender, a very fast and versatile 3D modeller/renderer. The Common Vulnerability and Exposures Project identifies the following problems: CVE-2005-3302 Joxean Koret discovered that due to missing input validation a provides script is vulnerable to arbitrary command execution. CVE-2005-4470 Damian Put discovered a buffer overflow that allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code. The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected by this problem. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 2.36-1sarge1. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 2.40-1. We recommend that you upgrade your blender package.

BackgroundMozilla Firefox is the next-generation web browser from the Mozilla project. Affected packages
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
DescriptionSeveral vulnerabilities were found in Mozilla Firefox. Versions 1.0.8 and 1.5.0.2 were released to fix them. ImpactA remote attacker could craft malicious web pages that would leverage these issues to inject and execute arbitrary script code with elevated privileges, steal local files, cookies or other information from web pages, and spoof content. Some of these vulnerabilities might even be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the browser user. WorkaroundThere are no known workarounds for all the issues at this time. ResolutionAll Mozilla Firefox users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.0.8"
All Mozilla Firefox binary users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin-1.0.8"

Backgroundfbida is a collection of image viewers and editors for the framebuffer console and X11. Affected packages
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
1 media-gfx/fbida < 2.03-r3 >= 2.03-r3 DescriptionJan Braun has discovered that the "fbgs" script provided by fbida insecurely creates temporary files in the "/var/tmp" directory. ImpactA local attacker could create links in the temporary file directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When an affected script is called, this could result in the file being overwritten with the rights of the user running the script. WorkaroundThere is no known workaround at this time. ResolutionAll fbida users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/fbida-2.03-r3"

More details about the issues may be found here: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html#mozilla Also note that this release marks the EOL (End Of Life) for the Mozilla Suite series. It's been a great run, so thanks to everyone who put in so much effort to make Mozilla a great browser suite. In the next Slackware release fans of the Mozilla Suite will be able to look forward to browsing with SeaMonkey, the Suite's successor. Anyone using an older version of Slackware may want to start thinking about migrating to another browser -- if not now, when the next problems with Mozilla are found. Although the "sunset announcement" states that mozilla-1.7.13 is the final mozilla release, I wouldn't be too surprised to see just one more since there's a Makefile.in bug that needed to be patched here before Mozilla 1.7.13 would build. If a new release comes out and fixes only that issue, don't look for a package release on that as it's already fixed in these packages. If additional issues are fixed, then there will be new packages. Basically, if upstream un-EOLs this for a good reason, so will we. Here are the details from the Slackware 10.2 ChangeLog: Where to find the new packages:Updated packages for Slackware 10.0: Updated packages for Slackware 10.1: Updated package for Slackware 10.2: Updated package for Slackware -current: MD5 signatures:Slackware 10.0 packages: Slackware 10.1 packages: Slackware 10.2 package: Slackware -current package: Installation instructions:Upgrade the package as root: +-----+ Slackware Linux Security Team Ubuntu LinuxUbuntu Security Notice USN-272-1 April 24, 2006 cyrus-sasl2 vulnerability CVE-2006-1721 A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) The following packages are affected: libsasl2-modules-gssapi-heimdal The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 2.1.19-1.3ubuntu0.1 (for Ubuntu 4.10), 2.1.19-1.5ubuntu1.1 (for Ubuntu 5.04), or 2.1.19-1.5ubuntu4.2 (for Ubuntu 5.10). In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. If you configured Postfix, OpenLDAP or possibly other server applications to use SASL with the DIGEST-MD5 plugin, you need to restart these services after the security upgrade. Details follow: A Denial of Service vulnerability has been discovered in the SASL authentication library when using the DIGEST-MD5 plugin. By sending a specially crafted realm name, a malicious SASL server could exploit this to crash the application that uses SASL.
