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. - imlib2 A security problem was fixed in imlib2 where loading a specific XPM file could corrupt memory.(CVE-2008-5187) Affected products: SLED 10 SP2, SLE SDK 10 (updates for other products were already released) - valgrind valgrind reads a file .valgrindrc in the current directory. Therefore local users could place such a file a world writable directory such as /tmp and influence other users' valgrind when it's executed there (CVE-2008-4865). Affected products: SLES9/SDK (updates for other products were already released) - kvm Rogue VNC clients could make the built in VNC server of kvm run into an infinite loop (CVE-2008-2382) An off-by-one bug limited the length of VNC passwords to seven instead of eight (CVE-2008-5714) Virtualized guests could potentially execute code on the host by triggering a buffer overflow in the network emulation code via large ethernet frames (CVE-2007-5729) Virtualized guests could potentially execute code on the host by triggering a heap based buffer overflow in the Cirrus Graphics card emulation (CVE-2007-1320). Affected products: openSUSE 11.0, 11.1 - cups Previous updates for the PNG and HPGL filters were incomplete and are corrected now (CVE-2008-3641, CVE-2008-5286). Affected products: openSUSE 10.3, 11.0, SLE10-SP2, SLES9 - lynx This update of lynx fixes two security bugs: - untrusted search path allows execution of arbitrary commands via .mailcap or mime.types file (CVE-2006-7234) - when advanced mode is enabled and lynx is used as URL handler, remote attackers can execute arbitrary commands (CVE-2008-4690) Affected products: NLD 9 SDK, SLE SDK 10 SP2, SLES SDK 9 (updates for other products were already released) - xterm XTerm evaluated various ANSI Escape sequences so that command execution was possible if an attacker could pipe raw data to an xterm. (CVE-2008-2383) (It is usually not recommended to display raw data on an xterm.) Affected products: openSUSE 10.3-11.0, SLE10-SP2, (SLES9 packages will be released within this week) ______________________________________________________________________________ 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 --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 validsignature from
