Abstract:

Title
=====

Three Debian Security Advisories:

1. DSA 1147-1 - New drupal packages fix cross-site scripting

2. DSA 1148-1 - New gallery packages fix several vulnerabilities

3. DSA 1149-1 - New ncompress packages fix potential code execution

Detail
======

1. Ayman Hourieh discovered that Drupal, a dynamic website platform,
performs insufficient input sanitising in the user module, which
might lead to cross-site scripting.

2. Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in gallery, a web-based
photo album.

3. Tavis Ormandy from the Google Security Team discovered a missing
boundary check in ncompress, the original Lempel-Ziv compress and
uncompress programs, which allows a specially crafted datastream to
underflow a buffer with attacker controlled data.
