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.
- hplip
Specially crafted SNMP replies could cause a buffer overflow in
hplip's sane backend (CVE-2010-4267).
Affected Products: SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.2, 11.3
- perl
The perl cgi module was prone to HTTP header injection
(CVE-2010-2761, CVE-2010-4410, CVE-2010-4411)
Affected Products: SLE10-SP3, SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.2, 11.3
- subversion
Malicious clients could crash the subversion server (CVE-2010-4539,
CVE-2010-4644).
Affected Products: SLE10-SP3, SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.2, 11.3
- t1lib
Specially crafted DVI files could cause a heap overflow in the AFM
font parser of t1lib (CVE-2010-2642).
Affected Products: SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.2, 11.3
- bind
Crafted IXFR transfers or DDNS updates could hang BIND
(CVE-2011-0414).
Affected Products: openSUSE 11.3
- tomcat5, tomcat6
Tomcat was prone to cross-site-scripting (XSS) attacks
(CVE-2011-0013).
Web applications could read or write files outside the intended
working directory (CVE-2010-3718).
Specially crafted requests could lead to a denial of service
(CVE-2011-0534).
Affected Products: SLES9, SLE10-SP3, SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.2, 11.3
- avahi
Empty UDP packets could crash the avahi daemon (CVE-2011-1002).
Affected Products: openSUSE 11.2, 11.3
- gimp
Several gimp plugins were prone to buffer overflows (CVE-2010-4540,
CVE-2010-4541, CVE-2010-4542, CVE-2010-4543)
Affected Products: SLE10-SP3, SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.2, 11.3
- aaa_base
The boot.localfs init script wrote a file to /dev/shm during shut-down. Since
local users may create symlinks there a malicious user could cause corruption
of arbitrary files (CVE-2011-0461).
Affected Products: openSUSE 11.2, 11.3
- build
The build script uses cpio to extract untrusted rpm packages for
bootstrapping virtual machines. cpio is not safe to use for this
task, therefore the build script now uses bsdtar instead
(CVE-2010-4226).
Affected Products: SLE10-SP3, SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.2, 11.3
- libtiff
specially crafted tiff images could cause buffer overflows in
libtiff (CVE-2011-0191, CVE-2011-0192).
Affected Products: SLES9, SLE10-SP3, SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.2, 11.3, 11.4
- krb5
A double-free issue in kdc when PKINIT is enabled allowed remote
attackers to crash the daemon or potentially execute arbitrary code
(CVE-2011-0284).
Affected Products: openSUSE 11.2, 11.3, 11.4
- nbd
A buffer overflow in the mainloop function the nbd server could
allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code (CVE-2011-0530).
Affected Products: openSUSE 11.2, 11.3
- clamav
Specially crafted VBA data in Microsoft Office documents could crash
clamav or potentially even cause execution of arbitrary code. clamav
was updated to version 0.97 to fix the issue (CVE-2011-1003).
Affected Products: SLE10-SP3, SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.2, 11.3
- aaa_base
shell meta characters in file names could cause interactive shells
to execute arbitrary commands when performing tab expansion
(CVE-2011-0468).
Affected Products: openSUSE 11.3, 11.4
- flash-player
The Adobe Flash Player was updated to version 10.2.153.1 to fix a
buffer overflow. Attackers could potentially exploit that to execute
arbitrary code (CVE-2011-0609).
Affected Products: SLE10-SP3, SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.2, 11.3, 11.4
- pango
Specially crafted font files could cause a heap corruption in
applications linked against pango (CVE-2011-0064, CVE-2011-0020).
Affected Products: SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.2, 11.3
- openssl
A malformed ClientHello message could crash servers using openssl for
communication (CVE-2011-0014).
Affected Products: SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.2, 11.3
- subversion
Remote attackers could crash an svn server by causing a NULL deref
(CVE-2011-0715).
Affected Products: openSUSE 11.4
- postgresql
A buffer overflow in the intarray module potentially allowed
attackers to execute arbitrary code as the user running postgresql
(CVE-2010-4015).
Affected Products: SLE10-SP3, SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.2, 11.3
- logwatch
Shell meta characters in log file names could lead to execution of
arbitrary code (CVE-2011-1018).
Affected Products: SLE10-SP3, SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.2, 11.3
- libxml2
Specially crafted xml files could crash applications linked against
libxml2 (CVE-2010-4494).
Affected Products: SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.2, 11.3
- quagga
Remote attackers could crash bgpd via a malformed Extended Communities or AS_PATHLIMIT
attributes (CVE-2010-1674, CVE-2010-1675).
Affected Products: SLES9, SLE10-SP3, SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.2, 11.3
