This is a maintenance and bugfix release that upgrades phpmyadmin

to 3.2.5 that solves intermittent segfaults and brings many upstream

fixes as well.

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in php:

PHP before 5.2.12 does not properly handle session data,

which has unspecified impact and attack vectors related to (1)

interrupt corruption of the SESSION superglobal array and (2) the

session.save_path directive (CVE-2009-4143).

Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0

customers.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

A vulnerabilitiy has been found and corrected in mysql:

MySQL is vulnerable to a symbolic link attack when the data home

directory contains a symlink to a different filesystem which allows

remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions

(CVE-2008-7247).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

The blogtk package in 2010.0 was crashing on start. This update fixes

the problem by updating blogtk to the latest version.

Additionally the python-gdata packages are being provided as well

due to requirements.

Update:

The MDVA-2010:070 advisory was missing some new dependancies (packages)

that prevented blogtk to install using MandrivaUpdate. This advisory

provides the missing packages.

A vulnerability have been discovered and corrected in libtheora:

Integer overflow in libtheora in Xiph.Org Theora before 1.1 allows

remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash)

or possibly execute arbitrary code via a video with large dimensions

(CVE-2009-3389).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Security issues were identified and fixed in firefox 3.0.x and 3.5.x:

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-2010-0159).

Security researcher Orlando Barrera II reported via TippingPoint's Zero

Day Initiative that Mozilla's implementation of Web Workers contained

an error in its handling of array data types when processing posted

messages. This error could be used by an attacker to corrupt heap

memory and crash the browser, potentially running arbitrary code on

a victim's computer (CVE-2010-0160).

Security researcher Alin Rad Pop of Secunia Research reported that

the HTML parser incorrectly freed used memory when insufficient space

was available to process remaining input. Under such circumstances,

memory occupied by in-use objects was freed and could later be filled

with attacker-controlled text. These conditions could result in the

execution or arbitrary code if methods on the freed objects were

subsequently called (CVE-2009-1571).

Security researcher Hidetake Jo of Microsoft Vulnerability Research

reported that the properties set on an object passed to showModalDialog

were readable by the document contained in the dialog, even when

the document was from a different domain. This is a violation of the

same-origin policy and could result in a website running untrusted

JavaScript if it assumed the dialogArguments could not be initialized

by another site. An anonymous security researcher, via TippingPoint's

Zero Day Initiative, also independently reported this issue to Mozilla

(CVE-2009-3988).

Mozilla security researcher Georgi Guninski reported that when a SVG

document which is served with Content-Type: application/octet-stream

is embedded into another document via an tag with

type=image/svg+xml, the Content-Type is ignored and the SVG document

is processed normally. A website which allows arbitrary binary data to

be uploaded but which relies on Content-Type: application/octet-stream

to prevent script execution could have such protection bypassed. An

attacker could upload a SVG document containing JavaScript as a binary

file to a website, embed the SVG document into a malicous page on

another site, and gain access to the script environment from the

SVG-serving site, bypassing the same-origin policy (CVE-2010-0162).

Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0

customers.

Additionally, some packages which require so, have been rebuilt and

are being provided as updates.

The DHCP client ignores the interface-mtu option set by server. This

update fixes the issue.

This update enables files to be properly attached when xdg-email is

used with Thunderbird as the default mail client.

Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in the Linux

2.6 kernel:

Array index error in the gdth_read_event function in

drivers/scsi/gdth.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.32-rc8 allows

local users to cause a denial of service or possibly gain privileges

via a negative event index in an IOCTL request. (CVE-2009-3080)

The collect_rx_frame function in drivers/isdn/hisax/hfc_usb.c in the

Linux kernel before 2.6.32-rc7 allows attackers to have an unspecified

impact via a crafted HDLC packet that arrives over ISDN and triggers

a buffer under-read. (CVE-2009-4005)

Additionally, the Linux kernel was updated to the stable release

2.6.27.45.

Multiple security vulnerabilities has been identified and fixed

in pidgin:

Certain malformed SLP messages can trigger a crash because the MSN

protocol plugin fails to check that all pieces of the message are

set correctly (CVE-2010-0277).

In a user in a multi-user chat room has a nickname containing '

'

then libpurple ends up having two users with username ' ' in the room,

and Finch crashes in this situation. We do not believe there is a

possibility of remote code execution (CVE-2010-0420).

oCERT notified us about a problem in Pidgin, where a large amount of

processing time will be used when inserting many smileys into an IM

or chat window. This should not cause a crash, but Pidgin can become

unusable slow (CVE-2010-0423).

Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0

customers.

This update provides pidgin 2.6.6, which is not vulnerable to these

issues.

Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in

gnome-screensaver:

gnome-screensaver 2.28.0 does not resume adherence to its activation

settings after an inhibiting application becomes unavailable on the

session bus, which allows physically proximate attackers to access

an unattended workstation on which screen locking had been intended

(CVE-2009-4641).

gnome-screensaver before 2.28.2 allows physically proximate attackers

to bypass screen locking and access an unattended workstation by moving

the mouse position to an external monitor and then disconnecting that

monitor (CVE-2010-0414).

This update provides gnome-screensaver 2.28.3, which is not vulnerable

to these issues.

A vulnerability have been discovered and corrected in netpbm:

Stack-based buffer overflow in converter/ppm/xpmtoppm.c in netpbm

before 10.47.07 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial

of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code

via an XPM image file that contains a crafted header field associated

with a large color index value (CVE-2009-4274).

Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0

customers.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

A vulnerability have been discovered and corrected in maildrop:

main.C in maildrop 2.3.0 and earlier, when run by root with the -d

option, uses the gid of root for execution of the .mailfilter file in

a user's home directory, which allows local users to gain privileges

via a crafted file (CVE-2010-0301).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

The eject package shipped in Mandriva Linux 2009.0, 2009.1, 2010.0

customers.

A vulnerability have been discovered and corrected in fetchmail:

The sdump function in sdump.c in fetchmail 6.3.11, 6.3.12, and 6.3.13,

when running in verbose mode on platforms for which char is signed,

allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application

crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via an SSL X.509 certificate

containing non-printable characters with the high bit set, which

triggers a heap-based buffer overflow during escaping (CVE-2010-0562).

This update provides fetchmail 6.3.14, which is not vulnerable to

this issue.

The pptp-linux packages in Mandriva Linux 2009.0, MES5, 2009.1 and
