______________________________________________________________________________

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.

   - cups
     Specially crafted print jobs could trigger buffer overflows in the
     'imagetops', 'texttops' and 'hpgltops' filters. Attackers could
     potentially exploit that to execute arbitrary code on the cups
     server (CVE-2008-3639, CVE-2008-3640, CVE-2008-3641).
     Affected products: openSUSE 10.2-11.0, SLED 10 SP1,SLED 10 SP2,
     SLES 10 SP1,SLES 10 SP2,SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 for IBM
     S/390 and IBM zSeries,SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 for x86,
     Novell Linux Desktop 9,Novell Linux POS 9,Open Enterprise Server,SLES 9

   - hplip,hplip-hpijs,hplip17,hplip17-hpijs
     hplip was updated because it does allow to send alert mails as user
     (CVE-2008-2940) and was affected by a denial-of-service bug
     (CVE-2008-2941). 
     Affected products: openSUSE 10.2-10.3,SLED 10 SP1,SLED 10 SP2,SLES 10 SP1,
     SLES 10 SP2

   - apache2-mod_php5,php5*
     The current update of apache2-mod_php5 fixes some overflows in the
     gd extension and in the memnstr() function that could crash php or
     possibly allow remote code execution (CVE-2008-3658, CVE-2008-3659)
     Affected products: openSUSE 10.2-11.0 (previously released), SLE SDK 10
     SP1,SLES 10 SP1

   - openldap2
     This update fixes a security problem in the liblber client library of
     openldap that allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service
     (program termination) via crafted ASN.1 BER datagrams, which triggers     an assertion error. (CVE-2008-2952)
     Additionally a bug was fixed in ldap_free_connection which could result
     in client crashes when the server closed a connection while an operation
     is active.
     Affected products: openSUSE 10.2-11.0, Novell Linux Desktop 9, Novell
     Linux POS 9,Open Enterprise Server,SLE 10 DEBUGINFO SP2,SLE SDK 10 SP1,
     SLE SDK 10 SP2,SLED 10 SP1,SLED 10 SP2,SLES 10 SP1,SLES 10 SP2,SLES 9,
     SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 for IBM S/390 and IBM zSeries,
     SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 for x86

3) Authenticity Verification and Additional Information

  - Announcement authenticity verification:

    SUSE security announcements are published via mailing lists and on Web
    sites. The authenticity and integrity of a SUSE security announcement is
    guaranteed by a cryptographic signature in each announcement. All SUSE
    security announcements are published with a valid signature.

    To verify the signature of the announcement, save it as text into a file
    and run the command

      gpg --verify 

    replacing  with the name of the file containing the announcement.
    The output for a valid signature looks like:

      gpg: Signature made  using RSA key ID 3D25D3D9
      gpg: Good signature from "SuSE Security Team "

    where  is replaced by the date the document was signed.

    If the security team's key is not contained in your key ring, you can
    import it from the first installation CD. To import the key, use the
    command

      gpg --import gpg-pubkey-3d25d3d9-36e12d04.asc

  - Package authenticity verification:

    SUSE update packages are available on many mirror FTP servers all over the
    world. While this service is considered valuable and important to the free
    and open source software community, the authenticity and integrity of a
    package needs to be verified to ensure that it has not been tampered with.

    The internal RPM package signatures provide an easy way to verify the
    authenticity of an RPM package. Use the command

      rpm -v --checksig 

    to verify the signature of the package, replacing  with the
    filename of the RPM package downloaded. The package is unmodified if it
    contains a valid signature from build@suse.de with the key ID 9C800ACA.

    This key is automatically imported into the RPM database (on RPMv4-based
    distributions) and the gpg key ring of 'root' during installation. You can
    also find it on the first installation CD and included at the end of this
    announcement.
