[DSA 3020-1] acpi-support security update

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Debian Security Advisory DSA-3020-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Raphael Geissert

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

Package : acpi-support
CVE ID : CVE-2014-0484

During a review for EDF, Raphael Geissert discovered that the
acpi-support package did not properly handle data obtained from a
user's environment. This could lead to program malfunction or allow a
local user to escalate privileges to the root user due to a programming
error.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.140-5+deb7u3.

For the testing distribution (jessie), and the unstable distribution (sid)
this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your acpi-support packages.

[DSA 3021-2] file regression update

Debian Security Advisory DSA-3021-2 security@debian.org

Package : file
CVE ID : CVE-2014-0207 CVE-2014-0237 CVE-2014-0238 CVE-2014-3478
CVE-2014-3479 CVE-2014-3480 CVE-2014-3487 CVE-2014-3538
CVE-2014-3587

This update corrects DSA 3021-1, which introduced a regression in the
detection of a some "Composite Document Files" (CDF), marking them look
as corrupted, with the error: "Can't expand summary_info".

On additional information, 5.11-2+deb7u4 changed the detection of
certain text files in the same way php5 did this in 5.4.4-14+deb7u13.
Since the new output is more accurate and this change also restored
the better detection as seen in the squeeze version of file, this is
not being reverted.

For reference, the original advisory text follows:

Multiple security issues have been found in file, a tool to determine
a file type. These vulnerabilities allow remote attackers to cause a
denial of service, via resource consumption or application crash.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in
version 5.11-2+deb7u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your file packages.

[DSA 3022-1] curl security update

Debian Security Advisory DSA-3022-1 security@debian.org

Package : curl
CVE ID : CVE-2014-3613 CVE-2014-3620

Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in cURL, an URL transfer
library. They can be use to leak cookie information:

CVE-2014-3613

By not detecting and rejecting domain names for partial literal IP
addresses properly when parsing received HTTP cookies, libcurl can
be fooled to both sending cookies to wrong sites and into allowing
arbitrary sites to set cookies for others.

CVE-2014-3620

libcurl wrongly allows cookies to be set for Top Level Domains
(TLDs), thus making them apply broader than cookies are allowed.
This can allow arbitrary sites to set cookies that then would get
sent to a different and unrelated site or domain.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in
version 7.26.0-1+wheezy10.

For the testing distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
version 7.38.0-1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 7.38.0-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your curl packages.
