Package : a2ps
CVE ID : CVE-2001-1593 CVE-2014-0466
Debian Bug : 737385 742902

Several vulnerabilities have been found in a2ps, an 'Anything to
PostScript' converter and pretty-printer. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2001-1593

The spy_user function which is called when a2ps is invoked with the
--debug flag insecurely used temporary files.

CVE-2014-0466

Brian M. Carlson reported that a2ps's fixps script does not invoke
gs with the -dSAFER option. Consequently executing fixps on a
malicious PostScript file could result in files being deleted or
arbitrary commands being executed with the privileges of the user
running fixps.

For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed
in version 1:4.14-1.1+deb6u1.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in
version 1:4.14-1.1+deb7u1.

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

We recommend that you upgrade your a2ps packages.

[DSA 2893-1] openswan security update

Package : openswan
CVE ID : CVE-2013-2053 CVE-2013-6466

Two vulnerabilities were fixed in Openswan, an IKE/IPsec implementation
for Linux.

CVE-2013-2053

During an audit of Libreswan (with which Openswan shares some code),
Florian Weimer found a remote buffer overflow in the atodn()
function. This vulnerability can be triggered when Opportunistic
Encryption (OE) is enabled and an attacker controls the PTR record
of a peer IP address.
Authentication is not needed to trigger the vulnerability.

CVE-2013-6466

Iustina Melinte found a vulnerability in Libreswan which also
applies to the Openswan code. By carefuly crafting IKEv2 packets, an
attacker can make the pluto daemon derefeences non-received IKEv2
payload, leading to the daemon crash.
Authentication is not needed to trigger the vulnerability.

Patches were originally written to fix the vulnerabilities in Libreswan,
and have been ported to Openswan by Paul Wouters from the Libreswan
Project.

Since the Openswan package is not maintained anymore in the Debian
distribution and is not available in testing and unstable suites, it is
recommended for IKE/IPsec users to switch to a supported implementation
like strongSwan.

For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.6.28+dfsg-5+squeeze2.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.6.37-3.1.

We recommend that you upgrade your openswan packages.
