1) Solved Security Vulnerabilities
To avoid flooding mailing lists with SUSE Security Announcements for minor
issues, SUSE Security releases weekly summary reports for the low profile
vulnerability fixes. The SUSE Security Summary Reports do not list or
download URLs like the SUSE Security Announcements that are released for
more severe vulnerabilities.
Fixed packages for the following incidents are already available on our FTP
server and via the YaST Online Update.
- IBMJava5-JRE/java-1_5_0-ibm
The update brings IBM Java 5 to SR9-SSU.
It fixes a lot of security issues:
CVE-2009-1100: A vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
with storing temporary font files may allow an untrusted applet or
application to consume a disproportionate amount of disk space resulting
in a denial-of-service condition.
CVE-2009-1100: A vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
with processing temporary font files may allow an untrusted applet or
application to retain temporary files resulting in a denial-of-service
condition.
CVE-2009-1103: A vulnerability in the Java Plug-in with deserializing
applets may allow an untrusted applet to escalate privileges. For
example, an untrusted applet may grant itself permissions to read and
write local files or execute local applications that are accessible to
the user running the untrusted applet.
CVE-2009-1104: The Java Plug-in allows Javascript code that is loaded
from the localhost to connect to any port on the system. This may be
leveraged together with XSS vulnerabilities in a blended attack to
access other applications listening on ports other than the one where
the Javascript code was served from.
CVE-2009-1093: A vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) with
initializing LDAP connections may be exploited by a remote client to
cause a denial-of-service condition on the LDAP service.
CVE-2009-1094: A vulnerability in Java Runtime Environment LDAP client
implementation may allow malicious data from an LDAP server to cause
malicious code to be unexpectedly loaded and executed on an LDAP client.
CVE-2009-1107: The Java Plugin displays a warning dialog for signed
applets. A signed applet can obscure the contents of the dialog and trick
a user into trusting the applet.
CVE-2009-1095
CVE-2009-1096: Buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the Java Runtime
Environment (JRE) with unpacking applets and Java Web Start applications
using the unpack200 JAR unpacking utility may allow an untrusted applet
or application to escalate privileges. For example, an untrusted applet
may grant itself permissions to read and write local files or execute
local applications that are accessible to the user running the untrusted
applet.
CVE-2009-1098: A buffer overflow vulnerability in the Java Runtime
Environment with processing GIF images may allow an untrusted applet or
Java Web Start application to escalate privileges. For example, an
untrusted applet may grant itself permissions to read and write local
files or execute local applications that are accessible to the user
running the untrusted applet.
CVE-2009-1099: A buffer overflow vulnerability in the Java Runtime
Environment with processing fonts may allow an untrusted applet or Java
Web Start application to escalate privileges. For example, an untrusted
applet may grant itself permissions to read and write local files or
execute local applications that are accessible to the user running the
untrusted applet.
Affected products: SLES9, SLE10
- RealPlayer
RealPlayer 10 is vulnerable to a critical security problem in the flash
plugin (CVE-2007-5400). Real does not provide updated binaries of
RealPlayer 10 and SUSE is not allowed to ship RealPlayer 11. Therefore
this update disables the flash plugin by setting restrictive file system
permissions.
Affected products: NLD9, SLE10, openSUSE 10.3-11.0
- acroread/acroread_ja
This update of acroread fixes two vulnerabilities in the JavaScript API
that allow attackers to execute arbitrary code with a malformed PDF
file. (CVE-2009-1492,CVE-2009-1493)
Affected products: SLE10, SLE11, openSUSE 10.3-11.1
- apache2-mod_security2
A remote DoS condition in the multipart processing of
apache2-mod_security2 has been fixed. No CVE
has been assigned to this issue yet.
Affected products: SLE11, openSUSE 11.1
- cyrus-sasl
This update of cyrus-sasl improves the output of function sasl_encode64()
by appending a 0 for string termination. The impact depends on the
application that uses sasl_encode64(). (CVE-2009-0688)
Affected products: SLES9, OES, NLD9, SLE10, SLE11, openSUSE 10.3-11.1
- ethereal/wireshark
Version upgrade to Wireshark 1.0.7 to fix various vulnerabilities:
CVE-2009-1269: crash while loading a Tektronix .rf5 file
CVE-2009-1268: crash in Check Point High-Availability Protocol (CPHAP)
dissector
CVE-2009-1267: LDAP dissector could crash on Windows
CVE-2009-1210: PROFINET format string bug
CVE-2009-1266: additional PROFINET format string bugs,
a crash in the PCNFSD dissector
Affected products: SLES9, OES, SLE10, SLE11, openSUSE 10.3-11.1
- ganglia-monitor-core
A stack buffer overflow in ganglia's buffer process_path
function has been fixed. CVE-2009-0241 has
been assigned to this issue.
Affected products: openSUSE 10.3-11.1
- ghostscript-devel
Specially crafted file could cause a heap-overflow in JBIG2 decoder
(CVE-2009-0196), an integer overflow in ICC library (CVE-2009-0792),
a buffer overflow in BaseFont writer module (CVE-2008-6679) or crash
the CCITTFax decoder (CVE-2007-6725).
The previous security update introduced a regression that broke some
printer drives. This new update fixes that issue.
Affected products: NLD9, SLES9, OES, SLE10, SLE11, openSUSE 10.3-11.1
- libwmf
A specially crafted WMF files could crash libwmf. (CVE-2009-1364)
Affected products: NLD9, SLES9, SLE10, SLE11, openSUSE 10.3-11.1
- libxine1/xine-devel
This update of libxine1 fixes an integer overflow in the qt_error
parse_trak_atom() function in that leads to a heap-based overflow and
allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed
Quicktime movie file. (CVE-2009-1274)
Affected products: NLD9, SLES9, SLE10, SLE11, openSUSE 10.3-11.1
- net-snmp
With this update of net-snmp the handling of TCP wrappers rules for
client authorization was improved, prior to this update it was possible
for remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and execute
SNMP queries. (CVE-2008-6123)
Additionally binding to multiple interfaces was improved.
Affected products: SLE10, openSUSE 10.3-11.1
- ntp/xntp
This update fixes a remote buffer overflow in xntp/ntp which can be
exploited when autokey is enabled to execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2009-1252)
This upfate fixes a buffer overflow in ntpd that can be triggered by a
malicious server. (CVE-2009-0159)
Affected products: SLES9, OES, NLD9, SLE10, SLE11, openSUSE 10.3-11.1
- openssl
Three remote DoS vulnerabilities have been fixed
in OpenSSL:
a DTLS epoch record buffer memory DoS (CVE-2009-1377),
a DTLS fragment handling memory DoS (CVE-2009-1378) and
a DTLS fragment read after a free DoS (CVE-2009-1379).
Affected products: SLE10, SLE11, openSUSE 10.3-11.1
