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.

   - php5
     php5 has been updated to fix problems with SSL certificate
     validation and overflows in the exif and gd modules
     (CVE-2009-3291,CVE-2009-3292, CVE-2009-3293, CVE-2009-2687).
     
     Affected Products: SLE10-SP2, SLE10-SP3, SLE11, openSUSE 10.3-11.1

   - newt
     A heap-based buffer overflow was found in the way newt used to process
     content, to be rendered in text dialog box. Local attacker could issue
     a specially-crafted text dialog box rendering request (direct or via
     custom application), leading to denial of service (application crash)
     or, potentially, to execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of
     the user running the application (CVE-2009-2905).
     
     Affected Products: SLE10-SP3, SLE11, openSUSE 10.3-11.1

   - rubygem-actionpack
     This update improves the escaping in the helper code of Ruby on
     Rails to protect against XSS attacks (CVE-2009-3009) and an
     information leak (CVE-2009-3086).
     
     Affected Products: SLE11, openSUSE 11.1

   - rubygem-activesupport
     This update improves the escaping in the helper code of Ruby on
     Rails to protect against XSS attacks (CVE-2009-3009) and an
     information leak (CVE-2009-3086).
     
     Affected Products: SLE11, openSUSE 11.1

   - java-1_4_2-ibm
     IBM Java 1.4.2 was updated to SR13 FP1.
     
     It fixes following two security issues:
     CVE-2009-2625: A vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
     with parsing XML data might allow a remote client to create a
     denial-of-service condition on the system that the JRE runs on.
     
     CVE-2008-5349: A vulnerability in how the Java Runtime Environment
     (JRE) handles certain RSA public keys might cause the JRE to consume
     an excessive amount of CPU resources. This might lead to a Denial of
     Service (DoS) condition on affected systems. Such keys could be
     provided by a remote client of an application.
     
     This issue affects the following security providers:
     IBMJCE, IBMPKCS11Impl and IBMJCEFIPS.
     
     Affected Products: SLES9, SLE10-SP2, SLE10-SP3, SLE11

   - postgresql
     Multiple security vulnerabilities have been fixed in PostgrSQL
     - CVE-2009-3229: allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial
       of service
     - CVE-2009-3230: allows remote authenticated users to gain higher
       privileges
     - CVE-2009-3231: when using LDAP authentication with anonymous
       binds, allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via an
       empty password
     
     Affected Products: SLES9, SLE10-SP2, SLE10-SP3, SLE11, openSUSE 10.3-11.1
     

   - samba
     samba's make_connection_snum() handles certain input incorrectly,
     which may lead to disclosure of the root directory (CVE-2009-2813).
     Additionally an information disclosure vulnerability in mount.cifs
     has been fixed (CVE-2009-2948) as well as a DoS condition
     (CVE-2009-2906).
     
     Affected Products: SLES9, SLE10-SP2, SLE10-SP3, SLE11, openSUSE 10.3-11.1

   - phpMyAdmin
     phpMyAdmin has been updated to version 2.11.9.6 to fix a cross-site
     scripting (XSS) issue (CVE-2009-3696) and an SQL injection
     vulnerability (CVE-2009-3697).
     
     Affected Products: openSUSE 10.3, openSUSE 11.0
     

   - viewvc
     Update of viewvc to version 1.0.9 fixes a cross-site scripting (XSS)
     problem and enhances filtering of illegal characters when displaying
     error messages (CVE-2009-3618, CVE-2009-3619).
     
     Affected Products: 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.
