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. - OpenOffice_org This update of OpenOffice_org does not allow macros written in Python to be executed without permission, CVE-2010-0395. This also provides the maintenance update to OpenOffice.org-3.2.1. Details about all upstream changes can be found at http://www.openoffice.org/development/releases/3.2.1.html Affected Products: SLE10-SP3, SLE11, openSUSE 11.0, 11.1, 11.2 - apache2-slms Insufficient quoting of parameters in SLMS could allow for cross-site-request-forgery (CSRF) attacks (CVE-2010-1325). Affected Products: SLE11 - aria2 This aria2 update to 1.9.3 fixes a metalink name Directory Traversal issue (CVE-2010-1512). Affected Products: openSUSE 11.2 - bogofilter This update of bogofilter/bogolexer fixes a heap based buffer underflow vulnerability which could be exploited to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code (CVE-2010-2494). Affected Products: SLE11, openSUSE 11.0, 11.1, 11.2 - cifs-mount/samba This update of the Samba server package fixes security issues and bugs. Following security issues were fixed: - CVE-2010-2063: A buffer overrun was possible in chain_reply code in 3.3.x and below, which could be used to crash the samba server or potentially execute code. - CVE-2010-0787: Take extra care that a mount point of mount.cifs is not changed during mount. - CVE-2010-0926: With enabled "wide links" samba follows symbolic links on the server side, therefore allowing clients to overwrite arbitrary files. This update changes the default setting to have "wide links" disabled by default. The new default only works if "wide links" is not set explicitly in smb.conf. - CVE-2010-0547: Due to a race condition in mount.cifs a local attacker could corrupt /etc/mtab if mount.cifs is installed setuid root. mount.cifs is not setuid root by default and it is not recommended to change that. Affected Products: SLES9, SLE10-SP3, SLE11, openSUSE 11.0, 11.1 - clamav This update fixes a off-by-one buffer overflow (CVE-2010-1640) and a crash while parsing PDFs (CVE-2010-1639, CVE-2010-2077) in clamav that can be used as a remote denial of service attack. Affected Products: SLES9,SLE10-SP3, SLE11, openSUSE 11.0, 11.1, 11.2 - exim Two local vulnerabilities have been fixed in the exim MTA which allowed attackers to create arbitrary files or to change ownership of arbitrary files.

(CVE-2010-2059) Affected Products: openSUSE 11.0 - postgresql This update of postgresql was pblished to fix several minor security vulnerabilities: - CVE-2010-1975: postgresql does not properly check privileges during certain RESET ALL operations, which allows remote authenticated users to remove arbitrary parameter settings. - CVE-2010-1170: The PL/Tcl implementation in postgresql loads Tcl code from thepltcl_modules table regardless of the table's ownership and permissions, which allows remote authenticated users, with database-creation privileges, to execute arbitrary Tcl code. - CVE-2010-1169: Postgresql does not properly restrict PL/perl procedures, which allows remote authenticated users, with database- creation privileges, to execute arbitrary Perl code via a crafted script. - CVE-2010-0733: An integer overflow in postgresql allows remote authen- ticated users to crash the daemon via a SELECT statement. Affected Products: SLE10-SP3, SLE11, openSUSE 11.0, 11.1, 11.2 - python-mako Python-mako was prone to a Cross-Site Scripting flaw due to improperly escaped single quotes (CVE-2010-2480). Affected Products: openSUSE 11.2, 11.3 - squidGuard Two buffer overflows in squidGard were fixed: - CVE-2009-3700: Buffer overflow in sgLog.c in squidGuard 1.3 and 1.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application hang or loss of blocking functionality) via a long URL with many / (slash) characters, related to "emergency mode." - CVE-2009-3826: Multiple buffer overflows in squidGuard 1.4 allow remote attackers to bypass intended URL blocking via a long URL, related to (1) the relationship between a certain buffer size in squidGuard and a certain buffer size in Squid and (2) a redirect URL that contains information about the originally requested URL. Affected Products: openSUSE 11.1, 11.2, 11.3 - vte VTE was vulnerable to an old title set+query attack which could be used by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code (CVE-2010-2713). Affected Products: openSUSE 11.2, 11.3 - w3m w3m did not handle embedded nul characters in the common name and in subject alternative names of x509 certificates. CVE-2010-2074 has been assigned to this issue. This update also turns on verification of x509 certificates by default which was not the case before. Affected Products: SLE10-SP3, SLE11, openSUSE 11.0, 11.1, 11.2 - xmlrpc-c This update of libxmlrpc is not vulnerable to denial of service bugs that can occur while processing malformed XML input. - CVE-2009-2625: CVSS v2 Base Score: 5.0: Permissions, Privileges, and Access Control (CWE-264) - CVE-2009-3720: CVSS v2 Base Score: 5.0: Insufficient Information - CVE-2009-3560: CVSS v2 Base Score: 5.0: Buffer Errors (CWE-119) Affected Products: SLES9, SLE11 - XFree86/xorg-x11 X clients could cause a memory corruption in the X Render extension which crashes the X server (CVE-2010-1166).

Affected Products: SLE11 ______________________________________________________________________________ 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 thename 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
