Debian's DSA-3124-1 addresses several security flaws in libjpeg-turbo. Users are advised to upgrade promptly.
In DSA 3123 the binutils package was updated for several security issues

Summary

Multiple security issues have been found in binutils, a toolbox for
binary file manipulation. These vulnerabilities include multiple memory
safety errors, buffer overflows, use-after-frees and other implementation
errors may lead to the execution of arbitrary code, the bypass of
security restrictions, path traversal attack or denial of service.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in
version 2+deb7u1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your binutils-mingw-w64 packages.
