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. - dnsmasq New packages fix a buffer overflow and a NULL dereference in the TFTP server code of dnsmasq. Please note that the TFTP server is disabled by default. (CVE-2009-2957, CVE-2009-2958) Released for product: openSUSE 10.3-11.1, SLE11 - icu icu did not properly handle invalid byte sequences during Unicode con- version. Remote attackers could potentially exploit that to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks (CVE-2009-0153). Released for product: openSUSE 10.3-11.1, SLE10, SLE11 - libcurl3/libcurl2/curl/compat-curl2 An update of curl fixes the 0-character handling in the subject name of a SSL certificate. This bug could be used to execute an undetected man- in-the-middle-attack. (CVE-2009-2417) Released for product: openSUSE 10.3-11.1, SLES9, SLE10, SLE11, OES, NLD - Xerces-c/xerces-j2 The Xerces-c package was vulnerable to various bugs while parsing XML. (CVE-2009-1885) Released for product: openSUSE 10.3-11.1, SLES9, SLE10, SLE11 - tiff/libtiff This update of the tiff package fixes various integer overflows in the contained tools. (CVE-2009-2347) Released for product: openSUSE 10.3-11.1, SLES9, SLE10, SLE11, OES, NLD - acroread_ja This update of acroread fixes the following vulnerabilities: + CVE-2009-1855: stack overflow that could lead to code execution + CVE-2009-1856: integer overflow with potential to lead to arbitrary code execution + CVE-2009-1857: memory corruption with potential to lead to arbitrary code execution + CVE-2009-1858: memory corruption with potential to lead to arbitrary code execution + CVE-2009-1859: memory corruption with potential to lead to arbitrary code execution + CVE-2009-0198: memory corruption with potential to lead to arbitrary code execution + CVE-2009-0509 CVE-2009-0510 CVE-2009-0511 CVE-2009-0512: various heap overflows that could lead to code exe- cution + CVE-2009-1861: heap overflow that could lead to code execution Released for product: SLE10, SLE11 - xpdf Specially crafted PDF documents could crash xpdf or potentially even allow execution of arbitrary code (CVE-2009-0791). Released for product: openSUSE 10.3-11.1, SLES9, SLE10, SLE11 - xemacs Specially crafted tiff, png and jpeg images could cause integer overflows in xemacs and possible system compromise. (CVE-2009-2688) Released for product: openSUSE 10.3-11.1, SLES9, SLE10, SLE11 - mysql The following vulnerabilities were fixed: + the COM_CREATE_DB and COM_DROP_DB suffered from format string vulnerabilities (CVE-2009-2446) + the command line client was prone to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks (CVE-2008-4456) Released for product: openSUSE 10.3-11.1, SLES9, SLE10, SLE11, OES, NLD - squirrelmail/squirrelmail-plugins The previous fix for a vulnerability that allowed an attacker to run arbitrary commands on the server was incomplete (CVE-2009-1381). Released for product: openSUSE 10.3 - OpenEXR This update of OpenEXR fixes several integer overflows (CVE-2009-1720) and a denial-of-service (probably execution of arbitrary code) bug (CVE-2009-1721). Released for product: openSUSE 10.3-11.1, SLE10, SLE11 - wireshark Flaws in the AFS dissector allowed attackers to crash wireshark via specially crafted network traffic (CVE-2009-2562). Released for product: openSUSE 10.3-11.1, SLES9, SLE10, SLE11, OES, NLD ______________________________________________________________________________ 2) Pending Vulnerabilities, Solutions, and Work-Arounds none ______________________________________________________________________________ 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 --verifyreplacing 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.
