MDVA-2010:100: rootcerts

1 hour 8 min ago
The Adobe Flash plugin has https support, but only searches for SSL
certificates in /etc/ssl/certs. This advisory provides a compatibility
symlink at /etc/ssl/certs pointing to /etc/pki/tls/certs to remedy
this problem.

Additionally this advisory also brings the latest root CA certs
from the mozilla cvs dated 2010-02-16. The mozilla nss library has
consequently been rebuilt to pickup these changes and are also being
provided.

Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0
customers.

MDVSA-2010:061: ncpfs

1 hour 8 min ago
Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in ncpfs:

sutil/ncpumount.c in ncpumount in ncpfs 2.2.6 produces certain detailed
error messages about the results of privileged file-access attempts,
which allows local users to determine the existence of arbitrary
files via the mountpoint name (CVE-2010-0790).

The (1) ncpmount, (2) ncpumount, and (3) ncplogin programs in ncpfs
2.2.6 do not properly create lock files, which allows local users
to cause a denial of service (application failure) via unspecified
vectors that trigger the creation of a /etc/mtab~ file that persists
after the program exits (CVE-2010-0791).

Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0
customers.

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

MDVA-2010:099: foomatic-db

1 hour 8 min ago
There was a regression in certain versions of foomatic-rip 3 and 4,
which has since been fixed. As a result, old versions fail the LSB
printing tests.

This advisory updates foomatic-db to 4.0 that passes the LSB tests
and also provides various updated printing softwares and drivers.

MDVSA-2010:060: squid

1 hour 8 min ago
A vulnerability has been found and corrected in squid:

The htcpHandleTstRequest function in htcp.c in Squid 2.x and 3.0
through 3.0.STABLE23 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (crash) via crafted packets to the HTCP port, which triggers
a NULL pointer dereference (CVE-2010-0639).

Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0
customers.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

MDVSA-2010:059: virtualbox

1 hour 8 min ago
A vulnerability has been found and corrected in virtualbox:

Unspecified vulnerability in Guest Additions in Sun xVM VirtualBox
1.6.x and 2.0.x before 2.0.12, 2.1.x, and 2.2.x, and Sun
VirtualBox before 3.0.10, allows guest OS users to cause a denial
of service (memory consumption) on the guest OS via unknown vectors
(CVE-2009-3940).

Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0
customers.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

MDVSA-2010:058: php

1 hour 8 min ago
Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in php:

* Improved LCG entropy. (Rasmus, Samy Kamkar)
* Fixed safe_mode validation inside tempnam() when the directory
path does not end with a /). (Martin Jansen)
* Fixed a possible open_basedir/safe_mode bypass in the session
extension identified by Grzegorz Stachowiak. (Ilia)

Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0
customers.

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

MDVA-2010:098: urpmi

1 hour 8 min ago
Fix packages signature management when a package is in 2
sub-repositories same version but different signature. This problem
occured when local media were used.

MDVA-2010:096-1: mmc-wizard

1 hour 8 min ago
Revert third party integration for now as some issues were discovered.

Update:

The mmc-wizard-1.0-13.10mdvmes5 update packages brought new
unresolved dependancies wich prevented it from installing using
MandrivaUpdate. This advisory resolves this problem by providing the
missing packages.

MDVSA-2010:057: apache

1 hour 8 min ago
A vulnerabilitiy has been found and corrected in apache:

The ap_read_request function in server/protocol.c in the Apache HTTP
Server 2.2.x before 2.2.15, when a multithreaded MPM is used, does
not properly handle headers in subrequests in certain circumstances
involving a parent request that has a body, which might allow remote
attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted request that
triggers access to memory locations associated with an earlier request
(CVE-2010-0434).

Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0
customers.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

MDVSA-2010:056: openoffice.org

1 hour 8 min ago
This update provides the OpenOffice.org 3.0 major version and holds
the security fixes for the following issues:

An integer underflow might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary
code via crafted records in the document table of a Word document
leading to a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-0200).

An heap-based buffer overflow might allow remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code via unspecified records in a crafted Word document
related to table parsing. (CVE-2009-0201).

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows allow remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code via a crafted EMF+ file (CVE-2009-2140).

OpenOffice's xmlsec uses a bundled Libtool which might load .la
file in the current working directory allowing local users to gain
privileges via a Trojan horse file. For enabling such vulnerability
xmlsec has to use --enable-crypto_dl building flag however it does
not, although the fix keeps protected against this threat whenever
that flag had been enabled (CVE-2009-3736).

Additional packages are also being provided due to dependencies.

Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0
customers.

from third party information. NOTE: this issue reportedly exists
because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2009-1188 (CVE-2009-3603).

The Splash::drawImage function in Splash.cc in Xpdf 2.x and 3.x
before 3.02pl4, and Poppler 0.x, as used in GPdf and kdegraphics KPDF,

dereference or a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-3604).

Multiple integer overflows allow remote attackers to cause a denial
of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code
via a crafted PDF file, related to (1) glib/poppler-page.cc; (2)

Integer overflow in the create_surface_from_thumbnail_data function
in glib/poppler-page.cc allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (memory corruption) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a
crafted PDF document that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. NOTE:
some of these details are obtained from third party information
(CVE-2009-3607).

Integer overflow in the ObjectStream::ObjectStream function in XRef.cc
in Xpdf 3.x before 3.02pl4 and Poppler before 0.12.1, as used in
GPdf, kdegraphics KPDF, CUPS pdftops, and teTeX, might allow remote
attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF document that
triggers a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-3608).

Integer overflow in the ImageStream::ImageStream function in Stream.cc
in Xpdf before 3.02pl4 and Poppler before 0.12.1, as used in GPdf,
kdegraphics KPDF, and CUPS pdftops, allows remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted PDF
document that triggers a NULL pointer dereference or buffer over-read
(CVE-2009-3609).

poppler/ABWOutputDev.cc as used by the Abiword pdftoabw utility,
allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service and
possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file (CVE-2009-3938).
This update provides fixes for that vulnerabilities.
