Package : netpbm-free
Vulnerability : insufficient input sanitizing
Problem type : local (remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-0554

A vulnerability was discovered in the GIF reader implementation in
netpbm-free, a suite of image manipulation utilities. Insufficient
input data validation could allow a maliciously-crafted GIF file
to overrun a stack buffer, potentially permitting the execution of
arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 2:10.0-11.1+etch1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems were fixed in
version 2:10.0-11.1.

We recommend that you upgrade your netpbm packages.

Package : phpgedview
Vulnerability : programming error
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-2064

It was discovered that phpGedView, an application to provide online access
to genealogical data, allowed remote attackers to gain administrator
privileges due to a programming error.

Note: this problem was a fundamental design flaw in the interface (API) to
connect phpGedView with external programs like content management systems.
Resolving this problem was only possible by completely reworking the API,
which is not considered appropriate for a security update. Since these are
peripheral functions probably not used by the large majority of package
users, it was decided to remove these interfaces. If you require that
interface nonetheless, you are advised to use a version of phpGedView
backported from Debian Lenny, which has a completely redesigned API.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 4.0.2.dfsg-4.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 4.1.e+4.1.5-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your phpgedview package.

Package : gnutls13
Vulnerability : several
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-1948, CVE-2008-1949, CVE-2008-1950

Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in GNUTLS, an
implementation of the SSL/TLS protocol suite.

NOTE: The libgnutls13 package, which provides the GNUTLS library, does
not contain logic to automatically restart potentially affected
services. You must restart affected services manually (mainly Exim,
using "/etc/init.d/exim4 restart") after applying the update, to make
the changes fully effective. Alternatively, you can reboot the system.

The following vulnerabilities have been identified:

A pre-authentication heap overflow involving oversized session
resumption data may lead to arbitrary code execution (CVE-2008-1948 )

Repeated client hellos may result in a pre-authentication denial of
service condition due to a null pointer dereference (CVE-2008-1949)

Decoding cipher padding with an invalid record length may cause GNUTLS
to read memory beyond the end of the received record, leading to a
pre-authentication denial of service condition (CVE-2008-1950)

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.4.4-3+etch1. (Builds for the arm architecture are currently
not available and will be released later.)

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your GNUTLS packages.

server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the
following problems:

CVE-2007-6454

Luigi Auriemma discovered that PeerCast is vulnerable to a heap
overflow in the HTTP server code, which allows remote attackers to
cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a
long SOURCE request.

CVE-2008-2040

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in xine-lib, a library
which supplies most of the application functionality of the xine
multimedia player. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
identifies the following three problems:

CVE-2008-1482

Integer overflow vulnerabilities exist in xine's FLV, QuickTime,
RealMedia, MVE and CAK demuxers, as well as the EBML parser used
by the Matroska demuxer. These weaknesses allow an attacker to
overflow heap buffers and potentially execute arbitrary code by
supplying a maliciously crafted file of those types.

CVE-2008-1686

Insufficient input validation in the Speex implementation used
by this version of xine enables an invalid array access and the
execution of arbitrary code by supplying a maliciously crafted
Speex file.

CVE-2008-1878

Inadequate bounds checking in the NES Sound Format (NSF) demuxer
enables a stack buffer overflow and the execution of arbitrary
code through a maliciously crafted NSF file.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.1.2+dfsg-7.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.1.12-2.

We recommend that you upgrade your xine-lib packages.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may
lead to a denial of service. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2007-6712

Johannes Bauer discovered an integer overflow condition in the hrtimer

trigger a denial of service (DoS) by causing the kernel to execute an
infinite loop.

CVE-2008-1615

Jan Kratochvil reported a local denial of service condition that
permits local users on systems running the amd64 flavor kernel
to cause a system crash.

CVE-2008-2136

Paul Harks discovered a memory leak in the Simple Internet Transition
(SIT) code used for IPv6 over IPv4 tunnels. This can be exploited
by remote users to cause a denial of service condition.

CVE-2008-2137

David Miller and Jan Lieskovsky discovered issues with the virtual
address range checking of mmaped regions on the sparc architecture
that may be exploited by local users to cause a denial of service.

Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may
lead to a denial of service or arbitrary code execution. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
problems:

CVE-2008-1673

Wei Wang from McAfee reported a potential heap overflow in the
ASN.1 decode code that is used by the SNMP NAT and CIFS
subsystem. Exploitation of this issue may lead to arbitrary code
execution. This issue is not believed to be exploitable with the
pre-built kernel images provided by Debian, but it might be an
issue for custom images built from the Debian-provided source
package.

CVE-2008-2358

Brandon Edwards of McAfee Avert labs discovered an issue in the
DCCP subsystem. Due to missing feature length checks it is possible
to cause an overflow they may result in remote arbitrary code
execution.

CVE-2008-2362

Several local vulnerabilities have been discovered in the X Window system.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
problems:

CVE-2008-1377

Lack of validation of the parameters of the
SProcSecurityGenerateAuthorization SProcRecordCreateContext
functions makes it possible for a specially crafted request to trigger
the swapping of bytes outside the parameter of these requests, causing
memory corruption.

CVE-2008-1379

An integer overflow in the validation of the parameters of the
ShmPutImage() request makes it possible to trigger the copy of
arbitrary server memory to a pixmap that can subsequently be read by
the client, to read arbitrary parts of the X server memory space.

CVE-2008-2360

An integer overflow may occur in the computation of the size of the
glyph to be allocated by the AllocateGlyph() function which will cause
less memory to be allocated than expected, leading to later heap
overflow.

CVE-2008-2361

An integer overflow may occur in the computation of the size of the
glyph to be allocated by the ProcRenderCreateCursor() function which
will cause less memory to be allocated than expected, leading later
to dereferencing un-mapped memory, causing a crash of the X server.

CVE-2008-2362

Integer overflows can also occur in the code validating the parameters
for the SProcRenderCreateLinearGradient, SProcRenderCreateRadialGradient
and SProcRenderCreateConicalGradient functions, leading to memory
corruption by swapping bytes outside of the intended request
parameters.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version
