Ubuntu: MoinMoin vulnerabilities USN-423-1

Ubuntu: MoinMoin vulnerabilities USN-423-1

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

A flaw was discovered in MoinMoin's debug reporting sanitizer which could lead to a cross-site scripting attack. By tricking a user into viewing a crafted MoinMoin URL, an attacker could execute arbitrary JavaScript as the current MoinMoin user, possibly exposing the user's authentication information for the domain where MoinMoin was hosted.

Ubuntu: ImageMagick vulnerabilities USN-523-1

Ubuntu: ImageMagick vulnerabilities USN-523-1

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

Vladimir Nadvornik discovered that the fix for CVE-2006-5456, released in USN-372-1, did not correctly solve the original flaw in PALM image handling. By tricking a user into processing a specially crafted image with an application that uses imagemagick, an attacker could execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges.

Ubuntu: PostgreSQL regression

Ubuntu: PostgreSQL regression

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

USN-417-2 fixed a severe regression in the PostgreSQL server that was introduced in USN-417-1 and caused some valid queries to be aborted with a type error. This update fixes a similar (but much less prominent) error. At the same time, PostgreSQL is updated to version 8.1.8, which fixes a range of important bugs.

Ubuntu: MoinMoin vulnerability

Ubuntu: MoinMoin vulnerability

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

A flaw was discovered in MoinMoin's page name sanitizer which could lead to a cross-site scripting attack. By tricking a user into viewing a crafted MoinMoin page, an attacker could execute arbitrary JavaScript as the current MoinMoin user, possibly exposing the user's authentication information for the domain where MoinMoin was hosted.

Ubuntu: PostgreSQL 8.1 regression

Ubuntu: PostgreSQL 8.1 regression

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

USN-417-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in the PostgreSQL server. Unfortunately this update had a regression that caused some valid queries to be aborted with a type error. This update corrects that problem. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Ubuntu: Bind vulnerabilities

Ubuntu: Bind vulnerabilities

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

A flaw was discovered in Bind's DNSSEC validation code. Remote attackers could send a specially crafted DNS query which would cause the Bind server to crash, resulting in a denial of service. Only servers configured to use DNSSEC extensions were vulnerable.

Ubuntu: PostgreSQL vulnerabilities USN-417-1

Ubuntu: PostgreSQL vulnerabilities USN-417-1

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

Jeff Trout discovered that the PostgreSQL server did not sufficiently check data types of SQL function arguments in some cases. An authenticated attacker could exploit this to crash the database server or read out arbitrary locations in the server's memory, which could allow retrieving database content the attacker should not be able to see. (CVE-2007-0555)

Ubuntu: teTeX vulnerability

Ubuntu: teTeX vulnerability

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

USN-410-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the poppler PDF loader library. This update provides the corresponding updates for a copy of this code in tetex-bin in Ubuntu 5.10. Versions of tetex-bin after Ubuntu 5.10 use poppler directly and do not need a separate update.

Ubuntu: Squid vulnerabilities

Ubuntu: Squid vulnerabilities

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

David Duncan Ross Palmer and Henrik Nordstrom discovered that squid incorrectly handled special characters in FTP URLs. Remote users with access to squid could crash the server leading to a denial of service.

Ubuntu: BlueZ vulnerability

Ubuntu: BlueZ vulnerability

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

A flaw was discovered in the HID daemon of bluez-utils. A remote attacker could gain control of the mouse and keyboard if hidd was enabled. This does not affect a default Ubuntu installation, since hidd is normally disabled.

Ubuntu: GeoIP vulnerability

Ubuntu: GeoIP vulnerability

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

Dean Gaudet discovered that the GeoIP update tool did not validate the filename responses from the update server. A malicious server, or man-in-the-middle system posing as a server, could write to arbitrary files with user privileges.

Ubuntu: libsoup vulnerability

Ubuntu: libsoup vulnerability

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

Roland Lezuo and Josselin Mouette discovered that the HTTP server code in libsoup did not correctly verify request headers. Remote attackers could crash applications using libsoup by sending a crafted HTTP request, resulting in a denial of service.

Ubuntu: poppler vulnerability USN-631-1

Ubuntu: poppler vulnerability USN-631-1

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

The poppler PDF loader library did not limit the recursion depth of the page model tree. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafter PDF file, this could be exploited to trigger an infinite loop and eventually crash an application that uses this library. kpdf in Ubuntu 5.10, and KOffice in all Ubuntu releases contains a copy of this code and thus is affected as well.

Ubuntu: krb5 vulnerability

Ubuntu: krb5 vulnerability

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

The server-side portion of Kerberos' RPC library had a memory management flaw which allowed users of that library to call a function pointer located in unallocated memory. By doing specially crafted calls to the kadmind server, a remote attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the target computer.

Ubuntu: libgtop2 vulnerability

Ubuntu: libgtop2 vulnerability

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

Liu Qishuai discovered a buffer overflow in the /proc parsing routines in libgtop. By creating and running a process in a specially crafted long path and tricking an user into running gnome-system-monitor, an attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges.
