Package : isakmpd
Vulnerability : programming error
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2006-4436
BugTraq ID : 19712
Debian Bug : 385894
A flaw has been found in isakmpd, OpenBSD’s implementation of
the Internet Key Exchange protocol, that caused Security
Associations to be created with a replay window of 0 when isakmpd
was acting as the responder during SA negotiation. This could allow
an attacker to re-inject sniffed IPsec packets, which would not be
checked against the replay counter.
For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed
in version 20041012-1sarge1
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed
in version 20041012-4
We recommend that you upgrade your isakmpd package.

Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200609-07
Severity: High
Title: LibXfont, monolithic X.org: Multiple integer overflows
Date: September 13, 2006
Bugs: #145513
ID: 200609-07
Synopsis
Some buffer overflows were discovered in the CID font parser,
potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with
elevated privileges.
Background
libXfont is the X.Org Xfont library, some parts are based on the
FreeType code base.
Affected packages
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
1 x11-libs/libXfont < 1.2.1 >= 1.2.1
2 x11-base/xorg-x11 < 7.0 >= 7.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures.
Description
Several integer overflows have been found in the CID font
parser.
Impact
A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by enticing a
user to load a malicious font file resulting in the execution of
arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the X
server which typically is the root user. A local user could exploit
this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges.
Workaround
Disable CID-encoded Type 1 fonts by removing the “type1” module
and replacing it with the “freetype” module in xorg.conf.
Resolution
All libXfont users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-libs/libXfont-1.2.1"
All monolithic X.org users are advised to migrate to modular
X.org.

Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200609-08
Severity: Normal
Title: xine-lib: Buffer overflows
Date: September 13, 2006
Bugs: #133520
ID: 200609-08
Synopsis
xine-lib is vulnerable to multiple buffer overflows that could
be exploited to execute arbitrary code.
Background
xine is a high performance, portable and reusable multimedia
playback engine. xine-lib is xine’s core engine.
Affected packages
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
1 media-libs/xine-lib < 1.1.2-r2 >= 1.1.2-r2
Description
xine-lib contains buffer overflows in the processing of AVI.
Additionally, xine-lib is vulnerable to a buffer overflow in the
HTTP plugin (xineplug_inp_http.so) via a long reply from an HTTP
server.
Impact
An attacker could trigger the buffer overflow vulnerabilities by
enticing a user to load a specially crafted AVI file in xine. This
might result in the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of
the user running xine. Additionally, a remote HTTP server serving a
xine client a specially crafted reply could crash xine and possibly
execute arbitrary code.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All xine-lib users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.2-r2"

Severity: Normal
Title: FFmpeg: Buffer overflows
Date: September 13, 2006
Bugs: #133520
ID: 200609-09
Synopsis
FFmpeg is vulnerable to multiple buffer overflows that might be
exploited to execute arbitrary code.
Background
FFmpeg is a very fast video and audio converter.
Affected packages
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
1 media-video/ffmpeg < 0.4.9_p20060530 >= 0.4.9_p20060530
Description
FFmpeg contains buffer overflows in the AVI processing code.
Impact
An attacker could trigger the buffer overflows by enticing a
user to load a specially crafted AVI file in an application using
the FFmpeg library. This might result in the execution of arbitrary
code in the context of the running application.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All FFmpeg users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20060530"

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-345-1 September 13, 2006
mailman vulnerabilities
CVE-2006-2941, CVE-2006-3636
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:
mailman 2.1.5-7ubuntu0.3
Ubuntu 5.10:
mailman 2.1.5-8ubuntu2.3
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
mailman 2.1.5-9ubuntu4.1
In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect
the necessary changes.
Details follow:
Steve Alexander discovered that mailman did not properly handle
attachments with special filenames. A remote user could exploit
that to stop mail delivery until the server administrator manually
cleaned these posts. (CVE-2006-2941)
Various cross-site scripting vulnerabilities have been reported
by Barry Warsaw. By using specially crafted email addresses, names,
and similar arbitrary user-defined strings, a remote attacker could
exploit this to run web script code in the list administrator’s web
browser. (CVE-2006-3636)
URLs logged to the error log file are now checked for invalid
characters. Before, specially crafted URLs could inject arbitrary
messages into the log.
