[DLA 773-3] python-crypto regression update

Package : python-crypto
Version : 2.6-4+deb7u6
CVE ID : CVE-2013-7459
Debian Bug : #849495, #850025, #850077

It was discovered that the previous attempt to fix the regression in
python-crypto, a cryptographic algorithms and protocols for Python, was
incorrect.

This regression was initially introduced in 2.6-4+deb7u4 and not correctly
fixed in 2.6-4+deb7u5. We now really print a warning (not raise an exception)
on invalid input. Thanks to Salvatore Bonaccorso and Sebastian Ramacher.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", this issue has been fixed in python-crypto version
2.6-4+deb7u6.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-crypto packages.

[DSA 3753-1] libvncserver security update

Debian Security Advisory DSA-3753-1 security@debian.org
https://www.debian.org/security/ Sebastien Delafond

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : libvncserver
CVE ID : CVE-2016-9941 CVE-2016-9942
Debian Bug : 850007 850008

It was discovered that libvncserver, a collection of libraries used to
implement VNC/RFB clients and servers, incorrectly processed incoming
network packets. This resulted in several heap-based buffer overflows,
allowing a rogue server to either cause a DoS by crashing the client,
or potentially execute arbitrary code on the client side.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
version 0.9.9+dfsg2-6.1+deb8u2.

For the testing (stretch) and unstable (sid) distributions, these
problems have been fixed in version 0.9.11+dfsg-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libvncserver packages.
