Debian Security Advisory DSA 1169-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze
September 5th, 2006 http://www.debian.org/security/faq

Package : mysql-dfsg-4.1
Vulnerability : several
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE IDs : CVE-2006-4226 CVE-2006-4380
BugTraq ID : 19559

Several local vulnerabilities have been discovered in the MySQL database server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2006-4226

Michal Prokopiuk discovered that remote authenticated users are permitted to create and access a database if the lowercase spelling is the same as one they have been granted access to.

CVE-2006-4380

Beat Vontobel discovered that certain queries replicated to a slave could crash the client and thus terminate the replication.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 4.1.11a-4sarge7. Version 4.0 is not affected by these problems.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 5.0.24-3. The replication problem only exists in version 4.1.

We recommend that you upgrade your mysql-server-4.1 package.

Gentoo Linux Security Advisory [UPDATE] GLSA 200509-09:02

http://security.gentoo.org/

Severity: High
Title: Py2Play: Remote execution of arbitrary Python code
Date: September 17, 2005
Updated: September 05, 2006
Bugs: #103524
ID: 200509-09:02

Update

The previous versions of Py2Play contain several vulnerabilities and had been masked in the Portage Tree. This is fixed in version 0.1.8 and version 0.1.9 has been introduced into Portage.

The updated sections appear below.

Resolution

All py2play users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-python/py2play-0.1.8"

Availability

This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website:

http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200509-09.xml

Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us. Any security concerns should be addressed to security@gentoo.org or alternatively, you may file a bug at http://bugs.gentoo.org.

    http://www.imc.org/ietf-openpgp/mail-archive/msg14307.html

Description:

Previous versions of the openssl package are vulnerable to a remote unauthorized access attack when RSA keys with exponent 3 are used for authentication. While this version of the openssl package resolves that vulnerability, it is generally recommended not to use RSA keys with exponent 3 for authentication because multiple implementations contain this vulnerability. RSA keys with exponent 3 are not in common use.

Ubuntu

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-339-1 September 05, 2006
openssl vulnerability
CVE-2006-4339

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.04
Ubuntu 5.10
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 5.04:
libssl0.9.7 0.9.7e-3ubuntu0.3

Ubuntu 5.10:
libssl0.9.7 0.9.7g-1ubuntu1.2

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
libssl0.9.8 0.9.8a-7ubuntu0.1

After a standard system upgrade you need to reboot your computer to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

Philip Mackenzie, Marius Schilder, Jason Waddle and Ben Laurie of Google Security discovered that the OpenSSL library did not sufficiently check the padding of PKCS #1 v1.5 signatures if the exponent of the public key is 3 (which is widely used for CAs). This could be exploited to forge signatures without the need of the secret key.

Updated packages for Ubuntu 5.04:
