Package : mozilla-firefox
Vulnerability : programming error
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2006-1993
CERT advisory : VU#866300
BugTraq ID : 17671
Martijn Wargers and Nick Mott described crashes of Mozilla due
to the use of a deleted controller context. In theory this could be
abused to execute malicious code. Since Mozilla and Firefox share
the same codebase, Firefox may be vulnerable as well.
For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed
in version 1.7.8-1sarge7.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed
in version 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.3-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your Mozilla Firefox packages.

Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200605-13
Severity: Low
Title: MySQL: Information leakage
Date: May 11, 2006
Bugs: #132146
ID: 200605-13
Synopsis
A MySQL server may leak information to unauthorized users.
Background
MySQL is a popular multi-threaded, multi-user SQL database
server.
Affected packages
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
1 dev-db/mysql < 4.1.19 >= 4.1.19
Description
The processing of the COM_TABLE_DUMP command by a MySQL server
fails to properly validate packets that arrive from the client via
a network socket.
Impact
By crafting specific malicious packets an attacker could gather
confidential information from the memory of a MySQL server process,
for example results of queries by other users or applications. By
using PHP code injection or similar techniques it would be possible
to exploit this flaw through web applications that use MySQL as a
database backend.
Note that on 5.x versions it is possible to overwrite the stack
and execute arbitrary code with this technique. Users of MySQL 5.x
are urged to upgrade to the latest available version.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All MySQL users should upgrade to the latest version.
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/mysql-4.1.19"
