ID: 201203-18
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Synopsis
========
An insecure temporary file usage has been reported in Minitube,
possibly allowing symlink attacks.
Background
==========
Minitube is a Qt4 YouTube desktop client.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-video/minitube < 1.6 >= 1.6
Description
===========

Title: HPLIP: Multiple vulnerabilities
Date: March 16, 2012
Bugs: #352085, #388655
ID: 201203-17
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in HPLIP, the worst of which
may allow execution of arbitrary code.
Background
==========
The Hewlett-Packard Linux Imaging and Printing system (HPLIP) provides
drivers for HP's inkjet and laser printers, scanners and fax machines.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-print/hplip < 3.11.10 >= 3.11.10
Description
===========
Two vulnerabilities have been found in HPLIP:
* The "hpmud_get_pml()" function in pml.c contains a boundary error
which could cause a stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-2010-4267).
* The "send_data_to_stdout()" function in hpcupsfax.cpp creates
insecure temporary files (CVE-2011-2722).
Impact
======
A remote attacker might send specially crafted SNMP reponses, possibly
resulting in execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service
condition. Furthermore, a local attacker could perform symlink attacks
to overwrite arbitrary files.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All HPLIP users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-print/hplip-3.11.10"

information, which could cause a stack-based buffer overflow
(CVE-2011-1574).
* The "CSoundFile::ReadWav()" function in load_wav.cpp contains an
integer overflow which could cause a heap-based buffer overflow
(CVE-2011-2911).
* The "CSoundFile::ReadS3M()" function in load_s3m.cpp contains
multiple boundary errors which could cause a stack-based buffer
overflow (CVE-2011-2912).
* The "CSoundFile::ReadAMS()" function in load_ams.cpp contains an
off-by-one error which could cause memory corruption (CVE-2011-2913).
* The "CSoundFile::ReadDSM()" function in load_dms.cpp contains an
off-by-one error which could cause memory corruption (CVE-2011-2914).
* The "CSoundFile::ReadAMS2()" function in load_ams.cpp contains an

Impact
======
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted media
file, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code, or a Denial of
Service condition.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All ModPlug users should upgrade to the latest version:
