VMSA-2009-0016 VMware vCenter and ESX update release and vMA patch release address multiple security issue in third party components

   this advisory.

   A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the ntpd daemon's NTPv4
   authentication code. If ntpd was configured to use public key
   cryptography for NTP packet authentication, a remote attacker could
   use this flaw to send a specially-crafted request packet that could
   crash ntpd or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the
   privileges of the "ntp" user.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
   has assigned the name CVE-2009-1252 to this issue.

III. ANALYSIS

Exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code on the
targeted host under the privileges of the current logged-on user.
Successful exploitation would require the attacker to entice his or her
victim into viewing a specially-crafted thumbnail leveraging the
vulnerability. <BR><BR> Some vectors of attack include e-mail, the
browser and network shares. In an e-mail-based attack, the attacker
must entice his or her victim into opening or previewing a
specially-crafted Office document containing a specially-crafted
thumbnail. In a browser-based attack, the victim must simply view a

 Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in gzip:
 
 A missing input sanitation flaw was found in the way gzip used to
 decompress data blocks for dynamic Huffman codes. A remote attacker
 could provide a specially-crafted gzip compressed data archive,
 which once opened by a local, unsuspecting user would lead to denial
 of service (gzip crash) or, potentially, to arbitrary code execution
 with the privileges of the user running gzip (CVE-2009-2624).

 Problem Description:
 
 A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in how ImageMagick
 parsed XCF files.  If ImageMagick opened a specially-crafted XCF
 file, it could be made to overwrite heap memory beyond the bounds
 of its allocated memory, potentially allowing an attacker to execute
 arbitrary code on the system running ImageMagick (CVE-2008-1096).
 
 Another heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in how

    A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way newt
    processes content that is to be displayed in a text dialog box.
    A local attacker could issue a specially-crafted text dialog box
    display request (direct or via a custom application), leading to a
    denial of service (application crash) or, potentially, arbitrary
    code execution with the privileges of the user running the
    application using the newt library.

 Problem Description:

 Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in libvorbis:
 
 A specially-crafted Ogg Vorbis media format file (Ogg) could cause an
 application using libvorbis to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary
 code when opened (CVE-2009-3379).
 
 If a specially-crafted Ogg Vorbis media file was opened by an
 application using libvorbis, it could cause the application to crash

Details follow:

It was discovered that Squid incorrectly handled certain auth headers. A
remote attacker could exploit this with a specially-crafted auth header

map file.  The third variable, "mapserv->Id", is read from user input
at line 406, though it is restricted to IDSIZE (128) bytes.  Thus, a
buffer overflow can be achieved by creating a map file on the server
with overly long IMAGEPATH and/or NAME attributes; their values will be
stored past the end of "buffer" and will overwrite saved register
values.  If the following specially-crafted map file ("bof.map") is
stored on the server (either by creating it directly, or tricking a
legitimate user into placing it onto the file system):

 A vulnerability has been discovered and corrected in freetype2:
 
 Multiple stack overflow flaws have been reported in the way FreeType
 font rendering engine processed certain CFF opcodes. An attacker
 could use these flaws to create a specially-crafted font file that,
 when opened, would cause an application linked against libfreetype
 to crash, or, possibly execute arbitrary code (CVE-2010-1797).
 
 Packages for 2008.0 and 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended

Puntal (index.php) Remote File Inclusion Vulnerabilities

Puntal could allow a remote attacker to include malicious PHP files. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request to the "index.php" script using the "app_path=" OR "puntal_path=" parameter to specify a malicious PHP file from a remote system, which would allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system.

Puntal 2.1.0 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

An attacker can exploit these issues via a browser.

[ GLSA 201012-01 ] Chromium: Multiple vulnerabilities

A remote attacker could trick a user to perform a set of UI actions
that trigger a possibly exploitable crash, leading to execution of
arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.

It was also possible for an attacker to entice a user to visit a
specially-crafted web page that would trigger one of the
vulnerabilities, leading to execution of arbitrary code within the
confines of the sandbox, successful Cross-Site Scripting attacks,
violation of the same-origin policy, successful website spoofing
attacks, information leak, or a Denial of Service. An attacker could
also trick a user to perform a set of UI actions that might result in a

from within the file system, resulting in heap-based buffer overflows.

Impact
======

An attacker could entice a user to process a specially-crafted ext2 or
ext3 file system image (with tools linking against libext2fs, e.g.
fsck, forensic tools or Xen's pygrub), possibly resulting in the
execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
application.


[ MDVSA-2012:062 ] openoffice.org

 Problem Description:

 An XML External Entity expansion flaw was found in the way Raptor
 processed RDF files. If an application linked against Raptor were to
 open a specially-crafted RDF file, it could possibly allow a remote
 attacker to obtain a copy of an arbitrary local file that the user
 running the application had access to. A bug in the way Raptor handled
 external entities could cause that application to crash or, possibly,
 execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
 application (CVE-2012-0037).

 call to the substring function for a bit string, related to an
 overflow. (CVE-2010-0442).
 
 A flaw was found in the way the PostgreSQL server process
 enforced permission checks on scripts written in PL/Perl. A remote,
 authenticated user, running a specially-crafted PL/Perl script, could
 use this flaw to bypass PL/Perl trusted mode restrictions, allowing
 them to obtain sensitive information; execute arbitrary Perl scripts;
 or cause a denial of service (remove protected, sensitive data)
 (CVE-2010-1169).
 

Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco Unified IP Phone Overflow and Denial of Service Vulnerabilities

  * DNS Response Parsing Overflow

    Cisco Unified IP Phone 7940, 7940G, 7960 and 7960G devices
    running SCCP and SIP firmware contain a buffer overflow
    vulnerability in the handling of DNS responses. A
    specially-crafted DNS response may be able to trigger a buffer
    overflow and execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable phone. This
    vulnerability is corrected in SCCP firmware version 8.0(8) and
    SIP firmware version 8.8(0). This vulnerability is documented in 
    CVE-2008-0530 leavingcisco.com and Cisco Bug IDs CSCsj74818 and
    CSCsk21863.

[ MDVSA-2012:004 ] t1lib

 
 A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way AFM font file
 parser, used for rendering of DVI files, in GNOME evince document
 viewer and other products, processed line tokens from the given input
 stream. A remote attacker could provide a DVI file, with embedded
 specially-crafted font file, and trick the local user to open it with
 an application using the AFM font parser, leading to that particular
 application crash or, potentially, arbitrary code execution with the
 privileges of the user running the application. Different vulnerability
 than CVE-2010-2642 (CVE-2011-0433).
