______________________________________________________________________________

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.

   - expat
     The previous expat security update (CVE-2009-3560) caused parse
     errors with some xml documents.
     
     Affected Products: SLES9, SLE10-SP2, SLE10-SP3, SLE11, openSUSE 11.0-11.2

   - postfix
     The post install script of postfix accidentally let postfix listen
     on all network interfaces (CVE-2010-0230).
     
     Affected Products: SLE10-SP3

   - phpMyAdmin
     The use of unserialize() on POST data which could have lead to
     remote code execution (CVE-2009-4605) has been fixed as well as some
     minor temporary file issues (CVE-2008-7251, CVE-2008-7252).
     
     Affected Products: openSUSE 11.0

   - postgresql
     An unprivileged, authenticated PostgreSQL user could create a table
     which references functions with malicious content. Maintenance
     operations carried out be the database superuser could execute such
     functions (CVE-2009-4136).
     
     Embedded null bytes in the common name of SSL certificates could
     bypass certificate hostname checks (CVE-2009-4034).
     
     postgresql was updated to the next upstream patchlevel update which
     also includes several bugfixes. See the package changelog for
     details.
     
     Affected Products: SLES9, SLE10-SP2, SLE10-SP3, SLE11, openSUSE 11.0-11.2

   - dovecot12
     Dovecot created the configured 'base_dir' (/var/run/dovecot) with
     mode 0777 if it didn't exist, therefore allowing local users to mess
     with e.g. the authentication socket (CVE-2009-3897).
     
     Note that /var/run/dovecot is part of the dovecot rpm with proper
     permission settings. Therefor dovecot is not vulnerable in the
     default configuration as shipped on openSUSE.
     
     Affected Products: openSUSE 11.2

   - msmtp
     msmtp did not properly handle a '\0' character in the domain name of
     SSL certificates (CVE-2009-3942).
     
     Affected Products: openSUSE 11.0-11.2

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.
