[SECURITY] [DSA 1609-1] New lighttpd packages fix multiple DOS issues

following problems:

CVE-2008-0983
  lighttpd 1.4.18, and possibly other versions before 1.5.0, does not
  properly calculate the size of a file descriptor array, which allows 
  remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a large number 
  of connections, which triggers an out-of-bounds access. 

CVE-2007-3948
  connections.c in lighttpd before 1.4.16 might accept more connections 
  than the configured maximum, which allows remote attackers to cause a

B.11.31 (64-bit) / Apache-CVE-2011-3192-Fix-IA-PA-64.depot

For customers not wanting to install this preliminary patch, we recommend that three work arounds be considered from the Apache Software Foundation.

1) Use SetEnvIf or mod_rewrite to detect a large number of ranges and then either ignore the Range: header or reject the request.

2) Limit the size of the request field to a few hundred bytes.

3) Use mod_headers to completely disallow the use of Range headers.


XSS Vulnerabilities in Common Shockwave Flash Files

websecurity lists is below.


SUMMARY

Critical vulnerabilities exist in a large number of widely used web
authoring tools that automatically generate Shockwave Flash (SWF)
files, such as Adobe (r) Dreamweaver (r), Adobe Acrobat (r) Connect
(tm) (formerly Macromedia Breeze), InfoSoft FusionCharts, and
Techsmith Camtasia. The flaws render websites that host these
generated SWF files vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).

system hosting the database server. This is a critical vulnerability
since it does not require authentication and its exploitation may go
undetected.

Netvolution [1] is a commercial content management system by
ATCOM S.A. [2] with a large number of installations, most of them
belonging to Greek companies and organizations.

It appears that the Netvolution platform has both ASP and PHP
implementations. This advisory concerns a bug found in the ASP
implementation (version 2.5.8). We were unable to verify with the

[ MDVSA-2009:160 ] ruby

 Problem Description:

 The BigDecimal library in Ruby 1.8.6 before p369 and 1.8.7 before
 p173 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service
 (application crash) via a string argument that represents a large
 number, as demonstrated by an attempted conversion to the Float
 data type.
 
 This update corrects the problem.

[Suspected Spam]CSRF, Information Leakage and Full path disclosure vulnerabilities in WordPress

Taking in account that in plugin WordPress Database Backup there is no
protection against CSRF, then with help of this CSRF vulnerability it's
possible to attack admin. It can be done for forcing of backup, in order to
get the backup of site's DB via earlier mentioned Information Leakage
vulnerability, or for the purpose of creating of large number of backup
files, to occupy free space at the server. Or in order to receive backup on
email. These CSRF-attacks are possible if plugin WP-DB-Backup is activated.

With help of CSRF-attack it's possible to make backup of any tables, as all,
as selectively (e.g. table with users wp_users). In this exploit the backup

prone to an error when optimizing character classes containing a
singleton UTF-8 sequence which might lead to a heap-based buffer
overflow (CVE-2007-4768).

Chris Evans also reported multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities in
PCRE when processing a large number of named subpatterns ("name_count")
or long subpattern names ("max_name_size") (CVE-2006-7227), and via
large "min", "max", or "duplength" values (CVE-2006-7228) both possibly
leading to buffer overflows. Another vulnerability was reported when
compiling patterns where the "-x" or "-i" UTF-8 options change within
the pattern, which might lead to improper memory calculations

 Problem Description:

 The daemon in acpid before 1.0.10 allows remote attackers to cause a
 denial of service (CPU consumption and connectivity loss) by opening
 a large number of UNIX sockets without closing them, which triggers
 an infinite loop (CVE-2009-0798).
 
 The updated packages have been patched to prevent this.

 allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service
 (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted SIEVE

RE: NSOADV-2010-004: McAfee LinuxShield remote/local code execution

When kept up-to-date with the latest virus-definition (DAT) files,
LinuxShield is an important part of your network security. We recommend
that you set up an anti-virus security policy for your network,
incorporating as many protective measures as possible.

LinuxShield uses a web-browser interface, and a large number of
LinuxShield installations can be centrally controlled by ePolicy
Orchestrator.
