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. - gdm This update provides the following fixes: - 633655: Change the way dbus properties are exported to avoid write access to read-only properties. - 627893: Upon relogin gdm displays the Windows domain, but tries to authenticate locally - 490621: Windows domain not remembered from previous log-in - 583060: Optionally allow to configure to prohibit end user to use "root" id at gdm login - 506917: Fix window login getting a huge horizontal size - 627893: Fix that upon relogin gdm displays the Windows domain, but tries to authenticate locally. In addition this update was rebuilt against the latest dbus-glib bindings to avoid that local users can write properties that were exported read- only via dbus (CVE-2010-1172). Affected Products: SLE11, SLE11-SP1 - openssl/libopenssl-devel Multithreaded OpenSSL servers using the TLS server extension are vulnerable to a buffer overrun attack. CVE-2010-3864 has been assigned to this issue. Affected Products: SLE11, SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.1, 11.2, 11.3 - poppler/libpoppler4/libpoppler-devel Specially crafted PDF files could crash poppler or potentially even cause execution of arbitrary code (CVE-2010-3702, CVE-2010-3704) Affected Products: SLE10-SP3, SLE11, SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.1, 11.2, 11.3 - quagga This update of quagga fixes two security issues: - CVE-2010-2948: CVSS v2 Base Score: 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P) Stack-based buffer overflow while processing malformed Route-Refresh messages. - CVE-2010-2949: CVSS v2 Base Score: 5.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P) Denial of service while processing malformed BGP update AS path messages Affected Products: SLE10-SP3, SLE11, SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.1, 11.2, 11.3 ______________________________________________________________________________ 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. Theauthenticity 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 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. 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: This email address is being protected from spambots.
