3. Debian Security Advisory DSA 674-1 - mailman

4. Debian Security Advisory DSA 675-1 - hztty


Detail
======

1. Erik Sjölund discovered that programs linked against xview are vulnerable to a number of buffer overflows in the XView library.

2. Max Vozeler discovered an integer overflow in a helper application inside
of Evolution, a free grouware suite.

3. Two security related problems have been discovered in mailman, web-based
GNU mailing list manager.

Debian Security Advisory DSA 672-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze
February 9th, 2005 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : xview
Vulnerability : buffer overflows
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2005-0076

Erik Sjölund discovered that programs linked against xview are vulnerable to a number
of buffer overflows in the XView library. When the overflow is triggered in a program
which is installed setuid root a malicious user could perhaps execute arbitrary code
as privileged user.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 3.2p1.4-16woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 3.2p1.4-19.

We recommend that you upgrade your xview packages.

Package : evolution
Vulnerability : integer overflow
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2005-0102
BugTraq ID : 12354

Max Vozeler discovered an integer overflow in a helper application inside of Evolution, a free grouware suite. A local attacker could cause the setuid root helper to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.5-1woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 2.0.3-1.2.

We recommend that you upgrade your evolution package.

Package : mailman
Vulnerability : cross-site scripting, directory traversal
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2004-1177 CAN-2005-0202

Two security related problems have been discovered in mailman, web-based GNU mailing list manager. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CAN-2004-1177

Florian Weimer discovered a cross-site scripting vulnerability in
mailman's automatically generated error messages. An attacker
could craft an URL containing JavaScript (or other content
embedded into HTML) which triggered a mailman error page that
would include the malicious code verbatim.

CAN-2005-0202

Several listmasters have noticed unauthorised access to archives
of private lists and the list configuration itself, including the
users passwords. Administrators are advised to check the
webserver logfiles for requests that contain "/...../" and the
path to the archives or cofiguration. This does only seem to
affect installations running on web servers that do not strip
slashes, such as Apache 1.3.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.11-1woody9.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 2.1.5-6.

We recommend that you upgrade your mailman package.


Upgrade Instructions
- - - --------------------
