This update primarily addresses security issues around URL spoofing.
This update fixes a potential security problem (information leak) due to use of predictable name in /tmp. There is no CVE assignment yet
Multiple security flaws were found in libvorbis. This updated package fixes them all. Descriptions of the security bugs can be found in the Fedora bug reporting software.
This security update fixes a (minor) tempfile creation security issue (CVE-2007-4460) by using mkstemp (bugzilla 253553)
This security update of bochs fixes CVE-2007-2894: The emulated floppy disk controller in Bochs 2.3 allows local users of the guest operating system to cause a denial of service (virtual machine crash) via unspecified vectors, resulting in a divide-by-zero error.
The decode_choice function in net/netfilter/bf_conntrack_h323_asn1.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an encoded, out-of-range index value for a choice field, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.
Gdm (the GNOME Display Manager) is a highly configurable reimplementation of xdm, the X Display Manager. JLANTHEA reported a denial of service flaw in the way that gdm listens on its unix domain socket. Any local user can crash the locally running X session.
Integer overflow in print-bgp.c in the BGP dissector in tcpdump 3.9.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted TLVs in a BGP packet, related to an unchecked return value.
BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an implementation of the DNS (Domain Name System) protocols. This update fixes the following flaw. Allows cache-poisoning type of attack, no workaround, affect only outgoing queries.
Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client. Several flaws were found in the way Thunderbird processed certain malformed JavaScript code. A malicious HTML email message containing JavaScript code could cause Thunderbird to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running Thunderbird. JavaScript support is disabled by default in Thunderbird; these issues are not exploitable unless the user has enabled JavaScript.
Mozilla Firefox is an open-source web browser, designed for standards compliance, performance and portability. Several flaws were found in the way Firefox processed certain malformed JavaScript code. A web page containing malicious JavaScript code could cause Firefox to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running Firefox.
The Apache HTTP Server did not verify that a process was an Apache child process before sending it signals. A local attacker with the ability to run scripts on the Apache HTTP Server could manipulate the scoreboard and cause arbitrary processes to be terminated which could lead to a denial of service (CVE-2007-3304). This issue is not exploitable on Fedora if using the default SELinux targeted policy.
The Apache HTTP Server did not verify that a process was an Apache child process before sending it signals. A local attacker with the ability to run scripts on the Apache HTTP Server could manipulate the scoreboard and cause arbitrary processes to be terminated which could lead to a denial of service (CVE-2007-3304).
Integer underflow in the cpuset_tasks_read function in the Linux kernel before 2.6.20.13, and 2.6.21.x before 2.6.21.4, when the cpuset filesystem is mounted, allows local users to obtain kernel memory contents by using a large offset when reading the /dev/cpuset/tasks file.
A heap overflow flaw was found in the RTF import filer. An attacker could create a carefully crafted RTF file that could cause OpenOffice.org to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code if the file was opened by a victim. All users of OpenOffice.org are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported fix to correct this issue.
Integer underflow in the cpuset_tasks_read function in the Linux kernel before 2.6.20.13, and 2.6.21.x before 2.6.21.4, when the cpuset filesystem is mounted, allows local users to obtain kernel memory contents by using a large offset when reading the /dev/cpuset/tasks file.
Bugfixes against the recent security patches. The bug names are CVE-2007-2447 patch v2 and CVE-2007-2444 patch v2.
An integer overflow flaw was found in the way libexif parses EXIF image tags. If a victim opens a carefully crafted EXIF image file it could cause the application linked against libexif to execute arbitrary code or crash. (CVE-2007-4168) Users of libexif should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch and are not vulnerable to this issue.
This update fixes a security flaw in Evolution's IMAP module. Adds a patch for a list of security bug which were reported.
