DSA-1569 cacti - insufficient input sanitising

It was discovered that Cacti, a systems and services monitoring frontend, performed insufficient input sanitising, leading to cross site scripting and SQL injection being possible.

DSA-1568 b2evolution - insufficient input sanitising

"unsticky" discovered that b2evolution, a blog engine, performs insufficient input sanitising, allowing for cross site scripting.

DSA-1567 blender - buffer overrun

Stefan Cornelius discovered a vulnerability in the Radiance High Dynamic Range (HDR) image parser in Blender, a 3D modelling application. The weakness could enable a stack-based buffer overflow and the execution of arbitrary code if a maliciously-crafted HDR file is opened, or if a directory containing such a file is browsed via Blender's image-open dialog.

DSA-1566 cpio - programming error

Dmitry Levin discovered a vulnerability in path handling code used by the cpio archive utility. The weakness could enable a denial of service (crash) or potentially the execution of arbitrary code if a vulnerable version of cpio is used to extract or to list the contents of a maliciously crafted archive.

DSA-1565 linux-2.6 - several vulnerabilities

Several local vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

DSA-1564 wordpress - multiple vulnerabilities

Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in wordpress, a weblog manager. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

DSA-1563 asterisk - programming error

Joel R. Voss discovered that the IAX2 module of Asterisk, a free software PBX and telephony toolkit performs insufficient validation of IAX2 protocol messages, which may lead to denial of service.

DSA-1562 iceape - programming error

It was discovered that crashes in the JavaScript engine of Iceape, an unbranded version of the Seamonkey internet suite could potentially lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

DSA-1561 ldm - programming error

Christian Herzog discovered that within the Linux Terminal Server Project, it was possible to connect to X on any LTSP client from any host on the network, making client windows and keystrokes visible to that host.

DSA-1560 kronolith2 - insufficient input sanitising

"The-0utl4w" discovered that the Kronolith, calendar component for the Horde Framework, didn't properly sanitise URL input, leading to a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the add event screen.

DSA-1559 phpgedview - insufficient input sanitising

It was discovered that phpGedView, an application to provide online access to genealogical data, performed insufficient input sanitising on some parameters, making it vulnerable to cross site scripting.

DSA-1558 xulrunner - programming error

It was discovered that crashes in the Javascript engine of xulrunner, the Gecko engine library, could potentially lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

DSA-1557 phpmyadmin - insufficient input sanitising

Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpMyAdmin, an application to administrate MySQL over the WWW. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

DSA-1556 perl - heap buffer overflow

It has been discovered that the Perl interpreter may encounter a buffer overflow condition when compiling certain regular expressions containing Unicode characters. This also happens if the offending characters are contained in a variable reference protected by the \Q...\E quoting construct. When encountering this condition, the Perl interpreter typically crashes, but arbitrary code execution cannot be ruled out.

DSA-1555 iceweasel - programming error

It was discovered that crashes in the Javascript engine of Iceweasel, an unbranded version of the Firefox browser, could potentially lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

DSA-1554 roundup - insufficient input sanitising

Roundup, an issue tracking system, fails to properly escape HTML input, allowing an attacker to inject client-side code (typically JavaScript) into a document that may be viewed in the victim's browser.

DSA-1553 ikiwiki - cross-site request forgery

It has been discovered that ikiwiki, a Wiki implementation, does not guard password and content changes against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.

DSA-1552 mplayer - missing input sanitising

It was discovered that the MPlayer movie player performs insufficient input sanitising on SDP session data, leading to potential execution of arbitrary code through a malformed multimedia stream.

DSA-1551 python2.4 - several vulnerabilities

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the interpreter for the Python language. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

DSA-1550 suphp - programming error

It was discovered that suphp, an Apache module to run PHP scripts with owner permissions handles symlinks insecurely, which may lead to privilege escalation by local users.
