Package : movabletype-opensource
Vulnerability : several
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
Debian Bug : 631437 661064
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Movable Type, a blogging
system:
Under certain circumstances, a user who has "Create Entries" or
"Manage Blog" permissions may be able to read known files on the local
file system.
The file management system contains shell command injection
vulnerabilities, the most serious of which may lead to arbitrary OS
command execution by a user who has a permission to sign-in to the
admin script and also has a permission to upload files.
Session hijack and cross-site request forgery vulnerabilities exist in
the commenting and the community script. A remote attacker could
hijack the user session or could execute arbitrary script code on
victim's browser under the certain circumstances.
Templates which do not escape variable properly and mt-wizard.cgi
contain cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed
in version 4.3.8+dfsg-0+squeeze2.
For the testing distribution (wheezy) and the unstable distribution
(sid), these problems have been fixed in version 5.1.3+dfsg-1.

Several vulnerabilities have been identified in GIMP, the GNU Image
Manipulation Program.
CVE-2010-4540
Stack-based buffer overflow in the load_preset_response
function in plug-ins/lighting/lighting-ui.c in the "LIGHTING
EFFECTS > LIGHT" plugin allows user-assisted remote attackers
to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly
execute arbitrary code via a long Position field in a plugin
configuration file.
CVE-2010-4541
Stack-based buffer overflow in the loadit function in
plug-ins/common/sphere-designer.c in the SPHERE DESIGNER
plugin allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial
of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary
code via a long "Number of lights" field in a plugin
configuration file.
CVE-2010-4542
Stack-based buffer overflow in the gfig_read_parameter_gimp_rgb
function in in the GFIG plugin allows user-assisted remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or
possibly execute arbitrary code via a long Foreground field in a
plugin configuration file.
CVE-2010-4543
Heap-based buffer overflow in the read_channel_data function in
file-psp.c in the Paint Shop Pro (PSP) plugin allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or
possibly execute arbitrary code via a PSP_COMP_RLE (aka RLE
compression) image file that begins a long run count at the end
of the image.
CVE-2011-1782
The correction for CVE-2010-4543 was incomplete.
CVE-2011-2896
The LZW decompressor in the LZWReadByte function in
plug-ins/common/file-gif-load.c does not properly handle code
words that are absent from the decompression table when
encountered, which allows remote attackers to trigger an
infinite loop or a heap-based buffer overflow, and possibly
execute arbitrary code, via a crafted compressed stream.

Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE IDs : CVE-2012-1906 CVE-2012-1986 CVE-2012-1987 CVE-2012-1988
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in puppet, a centralized
configuration management system. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project identifies the following problems:
CVE-2012-1906
Puppet is using predictable temporary file names when downloading
Mac OS X package files. This allows a local attacker to either
overwrite arbitrary files on the system or to install an arbitrary
package.
CVE-2012-1986
When handling requests for a file from a remote filebucket, puppet
can be tricked into overwriting its defined location for filebucket
storage. This allows an authorized attacker with access to the puppet
master to read arbitrary files.
CVE-2012-1987
Puppet is incorrectly handling filebucket store requests. This allows
an attacker to perform denial of service attacks against puppet by
resource exhaustion.
CVE-2012-1988
Puppet is incorrectly handling filebucket requests. This allows an
attacker with access to the certificate on the agent and an unprivileged
account on puppet master to execute arbitrary code via crafted file
path names and making a filebucket request.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.6.2-5+squeeze5.
For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.7.13-1.

Package : apache2
Vulnerability : insecure default configuration
Problem type : local/remote
Debian-specific: yes
CVE ID : CVE-2012-0216
Niels Heinen noticed a security issue with the default Apache
configuration on Debian if certain scripting modules like mod_php or
mod_rivet are installed. The problem arises because the directory
/usr/share/doc, which is mapped to the URL /doc, may contain example
scripts that can be executed by requests to this URL. Although access
to the URL /doc is restricted to connections from localhost, this still
creates security issues in two specific configurations:
- - If some front-end server on the same host forwards connections to an
apache2 backend server on the localhost address, or
- - if the machine running apache2 is also used for web browsing.
Systems not meeting one of these two conditions are not known to be
vulnerable. The actual security impact depends on which packages (and
accordingly which example scripts) are installed on the system.
Possible issues include cross site scripting, code execution, or
leakage of sensitive data.
This updates removes the problematic configuration sections from the
files /etc/apache2/sites-available/default and .../default-ssl. When
upgrading, you should not blindly allow dpkg to replace those files,
though. Rather you should merge the changes, namely the removal of the
'Alias /doc "/usr/share/doc"' line and the related '<Directory
"/usr/share/doc/">' block, into your versions of these config files.
You may also want to check if you have copied these sections to any
additional virtual host configurations.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.2.16-6+squeeze7.
For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem will be fixed in
version 2.2.22-4.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed in
version 2.2.22-4.
For the experimental distribution, this problem has been fixed in
version 2.4.1-3.

Package : gajim
Vulnerability : several
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE IDs : CVE-2012-2093 CVE-2012-2086 CVE-2012-2085
Debian bug : 668038
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in gajim, a feature-rich
jabber client. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
identifies the following problems:
CVE-2012-1987
gajim is not properly sanitizing input before passing it to shell
commands. An attacker can use this flaw to execute arbitrary code
on behalf of the victim if the user e.g. clicks on a specially crafted
URL in an instant message.
CVE-2012-2093
gajim is using predictable temporary files in an insecure manner when
converting instant messages containing LaTeX to images. A local
attacker can use this flaw to conduct symlink attacks and overwrite
files the victim has write access to.
CVE-2012-2086
gajim is not properly sanitizing input when logging conversations
which results in the possibility to conduct SQL injection attacks.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.13.4-3+squeeze2.
For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.15-1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.15-1.
