[SECURITY] [DSA 2264-1] linux-2.6 security update

CVE-2011-1745

    Vasiliy Kulikov reported an issue in the Linux support for AGP devices.
    Local users can obtain elevated privileges or cause a denial of service due
    to missing bounds checking in the AGPIOC_BIND ioctl. On default Debian
    installations, this is exploitable only by users in the video group.

CORE-2008-1010: VLC media player XSPF Memory Corruption

VLC media player is vulnerable to a memory corruption vulnerability,
which can be exploited by malicious remote attackers to compromise a
user's system, by providing a specially crafted XSPF playlist file. The
vulnerability exists because the VLC ('demux/playlist/xspf.c') library
does not properly perform bounds-checking on an 'identifier' tag from an
XSPF file before using it to index an array on the heap. This can be
exploited to overwrite an arbitrary memory address in the context of the
VLC media player process, and eventually get arbitrary code execution by
opening a specially crafted file.


[CAID 35673, 35674, 35675, 35676, 35677]: CA ARCserve Backup for Laptops and Desktops Multiple Server Vulnerabilities

Summary: CA ARCserve Backup for Laptops and Desktops contains 
multiple vulnerabilities that can allow a remote attacker to cause 
a denial of service condition or execute arbitrary code. The first 
set of vulnerabilities, CVE-2007-3216, occur due to insufficient 
bounds checking on multiple command arguments by the LGServer 
service. The second set of vulnerabilities, CVE-2007-5003, occur 
due to insufficient bounds checking on rxrLogin authentication 
credentials and on a username by the GetUserInfo() function. The 
third vulnerability, CVE-2007-5004, occurs due to insufficient 
verification of an integer value used during authentication, which 

[oCERT-2009-002] OpenCORE insufficient bounds checking during MP3 decoding

#2009-002 OpenCORE insufficient bounds checking during MP3 decoding

Description:

OpenCORE, an open source multimedia decoding subsystem, suffers from an
integer underflow during Huffman decoding resulting in improper bounds
checking when writing to a heap allocated buffer.  Decoding a specially
crafted mp3 file will result in unexpected process termination or,
potentially, arbitrary code execution due to heap corruption.

Details follow:

Bastien Roucaries discovered that dvips as included in tetex-bin
and texlive-bin did not properly perform bounds checking. If a
user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially
crafted dvi file, dvips could be made to crash and execute code as
the user invoking the program. (CVE-2007-5935)

  font file.

CVE-2010-2808

ZDI-11-059: CA ETrust Secure Content Manager Common Services Transport Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Manager. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.

The specific flaw exists in the eTrust Common Services Transport
(ECSQdmn.exe) running on port 1882. When making a request to this
service a user supplied DWORD value is used in a memory copy operation.
Due to the lack of bounds checking an integer can be improperly
calculated leading to a heap overflow. If successfully exploited this
vulnerability will result in a remote system compromise with SYSTEM
credentials.

256 records.

The second vulnerability is nearly identical to the first one, but
involves the "Font Description" record instead of the "Attribute"

ZDI-10-017: Microsoft Office PowerPoint Viewer TextBytesAtom Record Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

vulnerable installations of Microsoft Office PowerPoint Viewer. User
interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target

The specific flaw exists in the handling of TextBytesAtom records
contained in a PPT file. Due to the lack of bounds checking on the size
argument an unchecked memcpy() copies user data from the file to the
stack, overflowing key exception structures. Exploitation of this
vulnerability can lead to remote compromise of the affected system under
the context of the currently logged in user.


Heap Offset Overflow in Citrix ICA Clients

Advisory Issued:     4th August 2010
===============================ADVISORY===============================

Description
-----------
The Citrix Presentation Server Client (test on v10.150) does not perform bounds checking on the type field in an ICA "graphics" packet.  This lack of checking allows for a remote exploitation of a user that has the client installed.  

The exploit can be triggered by sending a user to a malicious webpage that causes an ICA file to be downloaded. This automatically connects to a simulated ICA server, which can trigger the remote code execution and take control over the client.
