Mandriva Security

MDVA-2009:125: kde4-style-iaora

This update of the IaOra theme for KDE4 contains several bugfixes,
including:
- check boxes are not visible (#50260)
- arabic text overlaps in KDE 4.2 menus (#50993)

MDVA-2009:124: msec

This update fixes a number of issues with msec shipped with Mandriva
Linux 2009.1:
- Msec would send an error message when desktop notification support
(NOTIFY_WARN) was not found in the security configuration file
(#51364, #51464)
- In some locales, msec would show an error message or incorrectly
translated messages when running in console (#50869)
This update also adds updated translation files for msec.

MDVA-2009:123: kde4

Mandriva Linux 2009 Spring was released with KDE4 version 4.2.2.

This update upgrades KDE4 in Mandriva Linux 2009 Spring to version
4.2.4, which brings many bugfixes and overall improvements.

MDVSA-2009:147: pidgin

Security vulnerabilities has been identified and fixed in pidgin:

Buffer overflow in the XMPP SOCKS5 bytestream server in Pidgin
(formerly Gaim) before 2.5.6 allows remote authenticated users to
execute arbitrary code via vectors involving an outbound XMPP file
transfer. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party
information (CVE-2009-1373).

Buffer overflow in the decrypt_out function in Pidgin (formerly Gaim)
before 2.5.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(application crash) via a QQ packet (CVE-2009-1374).

The PurpleCircBuffer implementation in Pidgin (formerly Gaim) before
2.5.6 does not properly maintain a certain buffer, which allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption
and application crash) via vectors involving the (1) XMPP or (2)
Sametime protocol (CVE-2009-1375).

Multiple integer overflows in the msn_slplink_process_msg functions in
the MSN protocol handler in (1) libpurple/protocols/msn/slplink.c and
(2) libpurple/protocols/msnp9/slplink.c in Pidgin (formerly Gaim)
before 2.5.6 on 32-bit platforms allow remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code via a malformed SLP message with a crafted offset
value, leading to buffer overflows. NOTE: this issue exists because
of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-2927 (CVE-2009-1376).

This update provides pidgin 2.5.8, which is not vulnerable to these
issues.

MDVA-2009:122-1: timezone

Updated timezone packages are being provided for older Mandriva Linux
systems that do not contain new Daylight Savings Time information
and Time Zone information for some locations. These updated packages
contain the new information.

Update:

Packages for MNF2/CS3/CS4 is now also provided.

MDVSA-2009:146: imap

Security vulnerabilities has been identified and fixed in University
of Washington IMAP Toolkit:

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in (1) University of Washington
IMAP Toolkit 2002 through 2007c, (2) University of Washington Alpine
2.00 and earlier, and (3) Panda IMAP allow (a) local users to gain
privileges by specifying a long folder extension argument on the
command line to the tmail or dmail program; and (b) remote attackers to
execute arbitrary code by sending e-mail to a destination mailbox name
composed of a username and '+' character followed by a long string,
processed by the tmail or possibly dmail program (CVE-2008-5005).

smtp.c in the c-client library in University of Washington IMAP Toolkit
2007b allows remote SMTP servers to cause a denial of service (NULL
pointer dereference and application crash) by responding to the QUIT
command with a close of the TCP connection instead of the expected
221 response code (CVE-2008-5006).

Off-by-one error in the rfc822_output_char function in the RFC822BUFFER
routines in the University of Washington (UW) c-client library, as
used by the UW IMAP toolkit before imap-2007e and other applications,
allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash)
via an e-mail message that triggers a buffer overflow (CVE-2008-5514).

The updated packages have been patched to prevent this. Note that the
software was renamed to c-client starting from Mandriva Linux 2009.0
and only provides the shared c-client library for the imap functions
in PHP.

MDVSA-2009:145: php

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in PHP:

- Fixed upstream bug #48378 (exif_read_data() segfaults on certain
corrupted .jpeg files).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

MDVSA-2009:144: ghostscript

Multiple security vulnerabilities has been identified and fixed
in ghostscript:

Multiple integer overflows in JasPer 1.900.1 might allow
context-dependent attackers to have an unknown impact via a crafted
image file, related to integer multiplication for memory allocation
(CVE-2008-3520).

Buffer overflow in the jas_stream_printf function in
libjasper/base/jas_stream.c in JasPer 1.900.1 might allow
context-dependent attackers to have an unknown impact via
vectors related to the mif_hdr_put function and use of vsprintf
(CVE-2008-3522).

Previousely the ghostscript packages were statically built against
a bundled and private copy of the jasper library. This update makes
ghostscript link against the shared system jasper library which
makes it easier to address presumptive future security issues in the
jasper library.

MDVSA-2009:143: netpbm

Multiple security vulnerabilities has been identified and fixed
in netpbm:

Multiple integer overflows in JasPer 1.900.1 might allow
context-dependent attackers to have an unknown impact via a crafted
image file, related to integer multiplication for memory allocation
(CVE-2008-3520).

Buffer overflow in the jas_stream_printf function in
libjasper/base/jas_stream.c in JasPer 1.900.1 might allow
context-dependent attackers to have an unknown impact via
vectors related to the mif_hdr_put function and use of vsprintf
(CVE-2008-3522).

The updated packages have been patched to prevent this.
