Security issues were identified and fixed in firefox: Security researcher regenrecht reported (via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative) a potential reuse of a deleted image frame in Firefox 3.6's handling of multipart/x-mixed-replace images. Although no exploit was shown, re-use of freed memory has led to exploitable vulnerabilities in the past (CVE-2010-0164). Mozilla developers identified and fixed several stability bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Some of these crashes showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code (CVE-2010-0165, CVE-2010-0167). Mozilla developer Josh Soref of Nokia reported that documents failed to call certain security checks when attempting to preload images. Although the image content is not available to the page, it is possible to specify protocols that are normally not allowed in a web page such as file:. This includes internal schemes implemented by add-ons that might perform privileged actions resulting in something like a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attack against the add-on. Potential severity would depend on the add-ons installed (CVE-2010-0168). Mozilla developer Blake Kaplan reported that the window.location object was made a normal overridable JavaScript object in the Firefox 3.6 browser engine (Gecko 1.9.2) because new mechanisms were developed to enforce the same-origin policy between windows and frames. This object is unfortunately also used by some plugins to determine the page origin used for access restrictions. A malicious page could override this object to fool a plugin into granting access to data on another site or the local file system. The behavior of older Firefox versions has been restored (CVE-2010-0170). Mozilla developer Justin Dolske reported that the new asynchronous Authorization Prompt (HTTP username and password) was not always attached to the correct window. Although we have not demonstrated this, it may be possible for a malicious page to convince a user to open a new tab or popup to a trusted service and then have the HTTP authorization prompt from the malicious page appear to be the login prompt for the trusted page. This potential attack is greatly mitigated by the fact that very few web sites use HTTP authorization, preferring instead to use web forms and cookies (CVE-2010-0172). Unspecified vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox 3.5.x through 3.5.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) and possibly have unknown other impact via vectors that might involve compressed data, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-1028 (CVE-2010-1122). Mozilla developers identified and fixed several stability bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Some of these crashes showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances, and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code (CVE-2010-0173, CVE-2010-0174) Security researcher regenrecht reported via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative that a select event handler for XUL tree items could be called after the tree item was deleted. This results in the execution of previously freed memory which an attacker could use to crash a victim's browser and run arbitrary code on the victim's computer (CVE-2010-0175). Security researcher regenrecht reported via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative an error in the way elements are inserted into a XUL tree . In certain cases, the number of references to an element is under-counted so that when the element is deleted, a live pointer to its old location is kept around and may later be used. An attacker could potentially use these conditions to run arbitrary code on a victim's computer (CVE-2010-0176). Security researcher regenrecht reported via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative an error in the implementation of the window.navigator.plugins object. When a page reloads, the plugins array would reallocate all of its members without checking for existing references to each member. This could result in the deletion of objects for which valid pointers still exist. An attacker could use this vulnerability to crash a victim's browser and run arbitrary code on the victim's machine (CVE-2010-0177). Security researcher Paul Stone reported that a browser applet could be used to turn a simple mouse click into a drag-and-drop action, potentially resulting in the unintended loading of resources in a user's browser. This behavior could be used twice in succession to first load a privileged chrome: URL in a victim's browser, then load a malicious javascript: URL on top of the same document resulting in arbitrary script execution with chrome privileges (CVE-2010-0178). Mozilla security researcher moz_bug_r_a4 reported that the XMLHttpRequestSpy module in the Firebug add-on was exposing an underlying chrome privilege escalation vulnerability. When the XMLHttpRequestSpy object was created, it would attach various properties of itself to objects defined in web content, which were not being properly wrapped to prevent their exposure to chrome privileged objects. This could result in an attacker running arbitrary JavaScript on a victim's machine, though it required the victim to have Firebug installed, so the overall severity of the issue was determined to be High (CVE-2010-0179). phpBB developer Henry Sudhof reported that when an image tag points to a resource that redirects to a mailto: URL, the external mail handler application is launched. This issue poses no security threat to users but could create an annoyance when browsing a site that allows users to post arbitrary images (CVE-2010-0181). Mozilla community member Wladimir Palant reported that XML documents were failing to call certain security checks when loading new content. This could result in certain resources being loaded that would otherwise violate security policies set by the browser or installed add-ons (CVE-2010-0182). Note that to benefit from the fix for CVE-2009-3555 added in nss-3.12.6, Firefox 3.6 users will need to set their security.ssl.require_safe_negotiation preference to true. In Mandriva the default setting is false due to problems with some common sites. Since firefox-3.0.19 is the last 3.0.x release Mandriva opted to provide the latest 3.6.3 version for Mandriva Linux 2008.0/2009.0/2009.1/MES5/2010.0. Packages for 2008.0 and 2009.0 are provided due to the Extended Maintenance Program for those products. Additionally, some packages which require so, have been rebuilt and are being provided as updates. Update: Packages for 2009.0 are provided due to the Extended Maintenance Program.

This update fixes several security issues in openssl: - The ssl3_get_record function in ssl/s3_pkt.c in OpenSSL 0.9.8f through 0.9.8m allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed record in a TLS connection (CVE-2010-0740) - OpenSSL before 0.9.8m does not check for a NULL return value from bn_wexpand function calls which has unspecified impact and context-dependent attack vectors (CVE-2009-3245) - The kssl_keytab_is_available function in ssl/kssl.c in OpenSSL before 0.9.8n, when Kerberos is enabled but Kerberos configuration files cannot be opened, could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) (CVE-2010-0433) - Finally, this update provides support for secure renegotiation, preventing men-in-the-middle attacks (CVE-2009-3555). Packages for 2008.0 and 2009.0 are provided due to the Extended Maintenance Program for those products. Update: Packages for 2009.0 are provided due to the Extended Maintenance Program.

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in clamav: ClamAV before 0.96 does not properly handle the (1) CAB and (2) 7z file formats, which allows remote attackers to bypass virus detection via a crafted archive that is compatible with standard archive utilities (CVE-2010-0098). The qtm_decompress function in libclamav/mspack.c in ClamAV before 0.96 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted CAB archive that uses the Quantum (aka .Q) compression format. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information (CVE-2010-1311). Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0 customers This update provides clamav 0.96, which is not vulnerable to these issues.

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in apache-mod_auth_shadow: A race condition was found in the way mod_auth_shadow used an external helper binary to validate user credentials (username / password pairs). A remote attacker could use this flaw to bypass intended access restrictions, resulting in ability to view and potentially alter resources, which should be otherwise protected by authentication (CVE-2010-1151). Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0 customers. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in brltty: Untrusted search path vulnerability in libbrlttybba.so in brltty 3.7.2 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted library, related to an incorrect RPATH setting (CVE-2008-3279). Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0 customers. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in irssi: Irssi before 0.8.15, when SSL is used, does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) field or a Subject Alternative Name field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof IRC servers via an arbitrary certificate (CVE-2010-1155). core/nicklist.c in Irssi before 0.8.15 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via vectors related to an attempted fuzzy nick match at the instant that a victim leaves a channel (CVE-2010-1156). Additionally the updated packages disables the SSLv2 protocol and enables the SSLv3 and TLSv1 protocols for added security. The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

This update fixes several security issues in openssl: - The ssl3_get_record function in ssl/s3_pkt.c in OpenSSL 0.9.8f through 0.9.8m allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed record in a TLS connection (CVE-2010-0740) - OpenSSL before 0.9.8m does not check for a NULL return value from bn_wexpand function calls which has unspecified impact and context-dependent attack vectors (CVE-2009-3245) - The kssl_keytab_is_available function in ssl/kssl.c in OpenSSL before 0.9.8n, when Kerberos is enabled but Kerberos configuration files cannot be opened, could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) (CVE-2010-0433) - Finally, this update provides support for secure renegotiation, preventing men-in-the-middle attacks (CVE-2009-3555).

In mandriva 2010.0, k3b didn't had menu icons on Gnome, LXDE, XFCE menus. This update fixes this issue.

The xulrunner and firefox packages sent with the MDVSA-2010:070 advisory did not require the version of sqlite3 they were built against which prevented firefox from starting. The fixed packages addresses this problem.

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in sudo: The command matching functionality in sudo 1.6.8 through 1.7.2p5 does not properly handle when a file in the current working directory has the same name as a pseudo-command in the sudoers file and the PATH contains an entry for ., which allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a Trojan horse executable, as demonstrated using sudoedit, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-0426 (CVE-2010-1163). Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0 customers. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in nss_db: The Free Software Foundation (FSF) Berkeley DB NSS module (aka libnss-db) 2.2.3pre1 reads the DB_CONFIG file in the current working directory, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information via a symlink attack involving a setgid or setuid application that uses this module (CVE-2010-0826). The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

This update provides openoffice.org-voikko package for the last OpenOffice.org 3.1.1 update.

MMC-Wizard create an insecure sqlite.db file for roundcubemail. This update addresses that issue.

This updates provides a security update to the OpenOffice.org described as follow: OpenOffice's xmlsec uses a bundled Libtool which might load .la file in the current working directory allowing local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse file. For enabling such vulnerability xmlsec has to use --enable-crypto_dl building flag however it does not, although the fix keeps protected against this threat whenever that flag had been enabled (CVE-2009-3736). Addittionaly this update provides following bug fixes: OpenOffice.org is not properly configure to use the xdg-email functionality of the FreeDesktop standard (#52195). Template desktop icons are not properly set up then they are not presented under the context menu of applications like Dolphin (#56439). libia_ora-gnome is added as suggest as long as that package is needed for a better look (#57385#c28). It is enabled a fallback logic to properly select an OpenOffice.org style whenever one is set up but that is not installed (#57530#c1, #53284, #45133, #39043) It is enabled the Firefox plugin for viewing OpenOffice.org documents inside browser.

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in kdm (kdebase/kdebase4-workspace): KDM contains a race condition that allows local attackers to make arbitrary files on the system world-writeable. This can happen while KDM tries to create its control socket during user login. This vulnerability has been discovered by Sebastian Krahmer from the SUSE Security Team (CVE-2010-0436). It is adviced to reboot the computer after applying the updated packages in order to the security fix to take full effect. Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0 customers. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in cups: CUPS in does not properly handle (1) HTTP headers and (2) HTML templates, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks and HTTP response splitting attacks via vectors related to (a) the product's web interface, (B) the configuration of the print system, and © the titles of printed jobs (CVE-2009-2820). Use-after-free vulnerability in the abstract file-descriptor handling interface in the cupsdDoSelect function in scheduler/select.c in the scheduler in cupsd in CUPS 1.3.7 and 1.3.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash or hang) via a client disconnection during listing of a large number of print jobs, related to improperly maintaining a reference count. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information (CVE-2009-3553). Use-after-free vulnerability in the abstract file-descriptor handling interface in the cupsdDoSelect function in scheduler/select.c in the scheduler in cupsd in CUPS 1.3.7, 1.3.9, 1.3.10, and 1.4.1, when kqueue or epoll is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash or hang) via a client disconnection during listing of a large number of print jobs, related to improperly maintaining a reference count. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2009-3553 (CVE-2010-0302). The _cupsGetlang function, as used by lppasswd.c in lppasswd in CUPS 1.2.2, 1.3.7, 1.3.9, and 1.4.1, relies on an environment variable to determine the file that provides localized message strings, which allows local users to gain privileges via a file that contains crafted localization data with format string specifiers (CVE-2010-0393). The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues. Update: Packages for Mandriva Linux 2010.0 was missing with MDVSA-2010:073. This advisory provides packages for 2010.0 as well.
