______________________________________________________________________________

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.

   - dhcp
     By sending requests with a large value for 'dhcp-max-message-size'
     dhcp-clients could crash dhcpd if dhcpd was configured with a large
     amount of DHCP options (CVE-2007-0062).
     
     Affected Products: SLES9, SLES10, openSUSE 10.3-11.0

   - ntp/xntp
     ntp didn't properly check the return value of the openssl function
     EVP_VerifyFinal (CVE-2009-0021).
     
     Affected Products: SLES9, openSUSE 10.3-11.1
     
     Packages for SLES10 got delayed due a fix for another problem and
     will follow soon

   - squid
     A denial of service condition in HTTP-request processing
     was fixed in squid (CVE-2009-0478).
     
     Affected Products: openSUSE 11.1

   - wireshark
     wireshark could crash while reading capture files containing
     NetScreen data (CVE-2009-0599), while reading Tektronix K12 capture
     files (CVE-2009-0600) or if the HOME environment variable contained
     format string specifiers (CVE-2009-0601).
     
     Affected Products: openSUSE 10.3-11.1

   - libpng
     Specially crafted png files could crash applications using libpng or
     potentially execute arbitrary code by causing free of an
     uninitialized pointer (CVE-2009-0040).
     
     Affected Products: SLES9, SLES10, openSUSE 10.3-11.1

   - pam_mount
     Temporary file handling of the passwdehd script was prone to symlink
     attacks (CVE-2008-5138). In 11.0 and 11.1 the script was removed as
     it doesn't work on those distributions anyways.
     
     Affected Products: SLES9, SLES10, openSUSE 10.3-11.1

   - enscript
     long path names could overflow a buffer in enscript (CVE-2008-5078).
     
     Affected Products: SLES9

   - eID-belgium
     eID-belgium didn't properly check the return value of the openssl
     function EVP_VerifyFinal (CVE-2009-0049).
     
     Affected Products: SLES10, openSUSE 10.3-11.1

   - gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good
     Specially crafted QuickTime media files could cause heap based
     buffer overflows in gstreamer. Attackers could potentially exploit
     that to execute arbitrary code (CVE-2009-0386, CVE-2009-0387,
     CVE-2009-0397).
     
     Affected Products: SLES9, openSUSE 10.3-11.1

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.

  - SUSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may
    subscribe:

    opensuse-security@opensuse.org
        -   General Linux and SUSE security discussion.
            All SUSE security announcements are sent to this list.
            To subscribe, send an e-mail to
                .

    opensuse-security-announce@opensuse.org
        -   SUSE's announce-only mailing list.
            Only SUSE's security announcements are sent to this list.
            To subscribe, send an e-mail to
                .
