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. - NetworkManager dbus-glib allowed local users to write properties that were exported read-only via dbus (CVE-2010-1172). Affected Products: openSUSE 11.2-11.3 - OpenOffice_org Maintenance update to LibreOffice-3.3.1. It adds some interesting features, fixes many bugs, including several security vulnerabilities. The previous OpenOffice_org packages are also renamed to libreoffice. LibreOffice is continuation of the OpenOffice.org project. This update replaces the OpenOffice.org installation, including helper packages, e.g. dictionaries, templates. The new stuff is backward compatible. Together with the maintenance update, the following security issues have been fixed: - PowerPoint document processing (CVE-2010-2935, CVE-2010-2936) - extensions and filter package files (CVE-2010-3450) - RTF document processing (CVE-2010-3451, CVE-2010-3452) - Word document processing (CVE-2010-3453, CVE-2010-3454) - insecure LD_LIBRARY_PATH usage (CVE-2010-3689) - PDF Import extension resulting from 3rd party library XPD (CVE-2010-3702, CVE-2010-3704) - PNG file processing (CVE-2010-4253) - TGA file processing (CVE-2010-4643) Affected Products: openSUSE 11.2-11.3 - apache2-slms This cumulative maintenance update provides a several important bug fixes for SUSE Lifecycle Management Server 1.1. The update should be applied also in case of upgrade from SUSE Lifecycle Management Server 1.0, before reconfiguring the product for the new version. Together with the maintenance update, the following security issues have been fixed: - don't log password also if error happen (never inspect unfiltered parameters) (bnc#644855) - Fix world-readable postgres credentials (bnc#684499) (CVE-2011-0993) Affected Products: SUSE Lifecycle Management Server 1.1 - dbus-1-glib dbus-glib allowed local users to write properties that were exported read-only via dbus (CVE-2010-1172). Affected Products: openSUSE 11.2-11.3 - dhcp/dhcpcd/dhcp6 A rogue dhcp server could instruct clients to use a host name that contains shell meta characters. Since many scripts in the system do not expect unusal characters in the system's host name the dhcp client needs to sanitize the host name offered by the server (CVE-2011-0996, CVE-2011-0997). AffectedProducts: SLES9, POS9, OES, SLE10-SP3, SLE10-SP4, SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.2-11.4 - freetype2 Specially crafted font files could crash applications that use freetype2 to render the fonts (CVE-2010-3814, CVE-2010-3855). Affected Products: SLE10-SP3, SLE10-SP4, openSUSE 11.2-11.3 - kbd The kbd init scripted wrote a file to /dev/shm during shut-down. Since local users may create symlinks there a malicious user could cause corruption of arbitrary files. CVE-2011-0460 has been assigned to this issue. Affected Products: SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.2-11.3 - krb5 A remote attacker may be able to make kadmind free an invalid pointer, leading to a crash of the service (CVE-2011-0285). Affected Products: openSUSE 11.2-11.4 - libcgroup libcgroup suffered from a heap based buffer overflow (CVE-2011-1006). The cgrulesengd daemon did not verify the origin of netlink messages, allowing local users to spoof events (CVE-2011-1022). Affected Products: SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.2-11.3 - libmodplug Libmodplug is vulnerable to a stack based buffer overflow when handling malicious S3M media files. CVE-2011-1574 has been assigned to this issue. Affected Products: openSUSE 11.2-11.4 - libvirt several API calls did not honor the read-only flag connections. Attackers could exploit that to modify the state of the system or potentially execute code (CVE-2011-1146). Affected Products: openSUSE 11.2-11.4 - mailman mailman was updated to version 2.1.14 to fix several cross-site-scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities (CVE-2011-0707, CVE-2010-3089). Affected Products: openSUSE 11.3 - moonlight-plugin Moonlight was prone to several security problems: - CVE-2011-0989: modification of read-only values via RuntimeHelpers.InitializeArray - CVE-2011-0990: buffer overflow due to race condition in Array.FastCopy - CVE-2011-0991: use-after-free due to DynamicMethodresurrection - CVE-2011-0992: information leak due to improper thread finalization Affected Products: SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.3-11.4 - nbd A buffer overflow in the mainloop function the nbd server could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code (CVE-2011-0530). Affected Products: SLE10-SP3, SLE10-SP4, openSUSE 11.2-11.4 - openldap2 Master/slave configurations with enabled "ppolicy_forward_updates" option potentially allowed users to log in with an invalid password (CVE-2011-1024). Unauthenticated users could crash the ldap server (CVE-2011-1081). Affected Products: SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.2-11.4 - pure-ftpd pure-ftpd was updated to fix a security issue with a Open Enterprise Server specific patch. - CVE-2011-0988: A worldwriteable directory created and used by the OES pure-ftpd Netware extensions could be used by local attackers to overwrite system files and so gain privileges. Affected Products: SLE10-SP3, SLE10-SP4 - python-feedparser Various issues in python-feedparser have been fixed, including fixes for crashes due to missing input sanitizaion and a XSS vulnerability. CVE-2011-1156, CVE-2011-1157, CVE-2011-1158 and CVE-2009-5065 have been assigned to these issues.

Affected Products: openSUSE 11.4 - telepathy-gabble This update of telepathy-gabble is validating the origin of a google:jingleinfo update message now. Not validating the origin could be used to intercept calls. CVE-2011-1000: CVSS v2 Base Score: 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N): Input Validation (CWE-20) Affected Products: openSUSE 11.2-11.3 - wireshark Wireshark was updated to version 1.4.4 to fix several security issues (CVE-2010-1455, CVE-2010-2283, CVE-2010-2284, CVE-2010-2285, CVE-2010-2286, CVE-2010-2287, CVE-2010-2992, CVE-2010-2993, CVE-2010-2994, CVE-2010-2995, CVE-2010-3445, CVE-2010-4300, CVE-2010-4301, CVE-2010-4538, CVE-2011-0444, CVE-2011-0445, CVE-2011-0538, CVE-2011-0713, CVE-2011-1138, CVE-2011-1139, CVE-2011-1140, CVE-2011-1143) Affected Products: SLE10-SP3, SLE10-SP4, SLE11-SP1, openSUSE 11.2-11.4 ______________________________________________________________________________ 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. Theinternal 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.
