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.
- NetworkManager
dbus-glib allowed local users to write properties that were exported
read-only via dbus (CVE-2010-1172).
Affected Products: openSUSE 11.2-11.3
- OpenOffice_org
Maintenance update to LibreOffice-3.3.1. It adds some interesting
features, fixes many bugs, including several security vulnerabilities.
The previous OpenOffice_org packages are also renamed to libreoffice.
LibreOffice is continuation of the OpenOffice.org project. This update
replaces the OpenOffice.org installation, including helper packages,
e.g. dictionaries, templates. The new stuff is backward compatible.
Together with the maintenance update, the following security issues have
been fixed:
- PowerPoint document processing (CVE-2010-2935, CVE-2010-2936)
- extensions and filter package files (CVE-2010-3450)
- RTF document processing (CVE-2010-3451, CVE-2010-3452)
- Word document processing (CVE-2010-3453, CVE-2010-3454)
- insecure LD_LIBRARY_PATH usage (CVE-2010-3689)
- PDF Import extension resulting from 3rd party library XPD
(CVE-2010-3702, CVE-2010-3704)
- PNG file processing (CVE-2010-4253)
- TGA file processing (CVE-2010-4643)
Affected Products: openSUSE 11.2-11.3
- apache2-slms
This cumulative maintenance update provides a several important bug fixes
for SUSE Lifecycle Management Server 1.1. The update should be applied
also in case of upgrade from SUSE Lifecycle Management Server 1.0,
before reconfiguring the product for the new version.
Together with the maintenance update, the following security issues have
been fixed:
- don't log password also if error happen
(never inspect unfiltered parameters) (bnc#644855)
- Fix world-readable postgres credentials (bnc#684499) (CVE-2011-0993)
Affected Products: SUSE Lifecycle Management Server 1.1
- dbus-1-glib

read-only via dbus (CVE-2010-1172).
Affected Products: openSUSE 11.2-11.3
- dhcp/dhcpcd/dhcp6
A rogue dhcp server could instruct clients to use a host name that
contains shell meta characters. Since many scripts in the system do
not expect unusal characters in the system's host name the dhcp
client needs to sanitize the host name offered by the server
(CVE-2011-0996, CVE-2011-0997).
Affected Products: SLES9, POS9, OES, SLE10-SP3, SLE10-SP4, SLE11-SP1,
openSUSE 11.2-11.4
- freetype2
Specially crafted font files could crash applications that use freetype2
to render the fonts (CVE-2010-3814, CVE-2010-3855).
Affected Products: SLE10-SP3, SLE10-SP4, openSUSE 11.2-11.3
- kbd
The kbd init scripted 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-2011-0460 has been assigned to this
issue.
Affected Products: SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.2-11.3
- krb5
A remote attacker may be able to make kadmind free an invalid pointer,
leading to a crash of the service (CVE-2011-0285).
Affected Products: openSUSE 11.2-11.4
- libcgroup
libcgroup suffered from a heap based buffer overflow (CVE-2011-1006).
The cgrulesengd daemon did not verify the origin of netlink messages,
allowing local users to spoof events (CVE-2011-1022).
Affected Products: SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.2-11.3
- libmodplug
Libmodplug is vulnerable to a stack based buffer overflow when
handling malicious S3M media files. CVE-2011-1574 has been
assigned to this issue.
Affected Products: openSUSE 11.2-11.4
- libvirt
several API calls did not honor the read-only flag connections. Attackers could exploit that to modify the state of the system or potentially
execute code (CVE-2011-1146).
Affected Products: openSUSE 11.2-11.4
- mailman

- CVE-2011-0992: information leak due to improper thread finalization
Affected Products: SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 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: SLE10-SP3, SLE10-SP4, openSUSE 11.2-11.4
- openldap2
Master/slave configurations with enabled "ppolicy_forward_updates"
option potentially allowed users to log in with an invalid password
(CVE-2011-1024).
Unauthenticated users could crash the ldap server (CVE-2011-1081).
Affected Products: SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.2-11.4
