        <title>MDKSA-2007:193: Updated openssl packages fix vulnerabilities</title>
        <link>http://www.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDKSA-2007:193</link>
        <description>A flaw in how OpenSSL performed Montgomery multiplications was
 discovered %that could allow a local attacker to reconstruct
 RSA private keys by examining another user's OpenSSL processes
 (CVE-2007-3108).
 
 Moritz Jodeit found that OpenSSL's SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function
 did not correctly check the size of the buffer it was writing to.
 As a result, a remote attacker could exploit this to write one NULL
 byte past the end of the applications's cipher list buffer, which could
 possibly lead to a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code
 (CVE-2007-5135).
 
 Updated packages have been patched to prevent these issues.</description>

        <title>MDKSA-2007:192: Updated mplayer packages fix vulnerability</title>
        <link>http://www.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDKSA-2007:192</link>
        <description>A heap-based buffer overflow was found in MPlayer's AVI handling
 that could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service or
 possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted .avi file.
 
 Updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue.</description>

        <title>MDKSA-2007:191: Updated libsndfile packages fix vulnerability</title>
        <link>http://www.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDKSA-2007:191</link>
        <description>A heap-based buffer overflow in libsndfile could allow remote attackers
 to execute arbitrary code via a FLAC file with crafted PCM data which
 contains a block with a size exceeding that of the previous block.
 
 Updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue.</description>

        <title>MDKSA-2007:190: Updated kdebase packages fix KDM vulnerability</title>
        <link>http://www.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDKSA-2007:190</link>
        <description>A vulnerability was discovered in KDM by Kees Huijgen where under
 certain circumstances and in particular configurations, KDM could be
 tricked into allowing users to login without a password.
 
 Updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue.</description>

        <title>MDKSA-2007:189: Updated t1lib packages fix vulnerability</title>
        <link>http://www.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDKSA-2007:189</link>
        <description>A buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in t1lib due to improper
 bounds checking.  An attacker could send specially crafted input to
 an application linked against t1lib which could lead to a denial of
 service or the execution of arbitrary code.
 
 Updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue.</description>

        <title>MDKSA-2007:188: Updated postgresql packages prevent access abuse using dblink</title>
        <link>http://www.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDKSA-2007:188</link>
        <description>PostgreSQL 8.1 and probably later and earlier versions, when local
 trust authentication is enabled and the Database Link library (dblink)
 is installed, allows remote attackers to access arbitrary accounts
 and execute arbitrary SQL queries via a dblink host parameter that
 proxies the connection from 127.0.0.1. (CVE-2007-3278)
 
 PostgreSQL 8.1 and probably later and earlier versions, when the
 PL/pgSQL (plpgsql) language has been created, grants certain plpgsql
 privileges to the PUBLIC domain, which allows remote attackers
 to create and execute functions, as demonstrated by functions that
 perform local brute-force password guessing attacks, which may evade
 intrusion detection. (CVE-2007-3279)
 
 The Database Link library (dblink) in PostgreSQL 8.1 implements
 functions via CREATE statements that map to arbitrary libraries based
 on the C programming language, which allows remote authenticated
 superusers to map and execute a function from any library, as
 demonstrated by using the system function in libc.so.6 to gain shell
 access. (CVE-2007-3280)
 
 Updated packages fix these issues, by requiring non-superusers who
 use /contrib/dblink to use only password authentication.</description>

        <title>MDKSA-2007:187: Updated PHP packages fix numerous vulnerabilities</title>
        <link>http://www.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDKSA-2007:187</link>
        <description>Numerous vulnerabilities were discovered in the PHP scripting language
 that are corrected with this update.
 
 An integer overflow in the substr_compare() function allows
 context-dependent attackers to read sensitive memory via a large
 value in the length argument.  This only affects PHP5 (CVE-2007-1375).
 
 A stack-based buffer overflow in the zip:// URI wrapper in PECL
 ZIP 1.8.3 and earlier allowes remote attackers to execute arbitrary
 code via a long zip:// URL.  This only affects Corporate Server 4.0
 (CVE-2007-1399).
 
 A CRLF injection vulnerability in the FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL filter
 could allow an attacker to inject arbitrary email headers via a
 special email address.  This only affects Mandriva Linux 2007.1
 (CVE-2007-1900).
 
 The mcrypt_create_iv() function calls php_rand_r() with an
 uninitialized seed variable, thus always generating the same
 initialization vector, which may allow an attacker to decrypt
 certain data more easily because of the guessable encryption keys
 (CVE-2007-2727).
 
 The soap extension calls php_rand_r() with an uninitialized seec
 variable, which has unknown impact and attack vectors; an issue
 similar to that affecting mcrypt_create_iv().  This only affects PHP5
 (CVE-2007-2728).
 
 The substr_count() function allows attackers to obtain sensitive
 information via unspecified vectors.  This only affects PHP5
 (CVE-2007-2748).
 
 An infinite loop was found in the gd extension that could be used to
 cause a denial of service if a script were forced to process certain
 PNG images from untrusted sources (CVE-2007-2756).
 
 An integer overflow flaw was found in the chunk_split() function that
 ould possibly execute arbitrary code as the apache user if a remote
 attacker was able to pass arbitrary data to the third argument of
 chunk_split() (CVE-2007-2872).
 
 A flaw in the PHP session cookie handling could allow an attacker to
 create a cross-site cookie insertion attack if a victim followed an
 untrusted carefully-crafted URL (CVE-2007-3799).
 
 Various integer overflow flaws were discovered in the PHP gd extension
 that could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code as the
 apache user (CVE-2007-3996).
 
 A flaw in the wordwrap() frunction could result in a denial of ervice
 if a remote attacker was able to pass arbitrary data to the function
 (CVE-2007-3998).
 
 A flaw in the money_format() function could result in an information
 leak or denial of service if a remote attacker was able to pass
 arbitrary data to this function; this situation would be unlikely
 however (CVE-2007-4658).
 
 A bug in the PHP session cookie handling could allow an attacker to
 stop a victim from viewing a vulnerable website if the victim first
 visited a malicious website under the control of the attacker who
 was able to use that page to set a cookie for the vulnerable website
 (CVE-2007-4670).
 
 Updated packages have been patched to prevent these issues.
 In addition, PECL ZIP version 1.8.10 is being provided for Corporate
 Server 4.0.</description>

        <title>MDKSA-2007:186: Updated openoffice.org packages fix TIFF parser vulnerability</title>
        <link>http://www.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDKSA-2007:186</link>
        <description>An integer overflow in the TIFF parser in OpenOffice.org prior to
 version 2.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via
 a TIFF file with crafted values which triggers the allocation of
 an incorrect amount of memory which results in a heap-based buffer
 overflow.
 
 Updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue.</description>

        <title>MDKSA-2007:185: Updated avahi packages fix vulnerability</title>
        <link>http://www.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDKSA-2007:185</link>
        <description>The Avahi daemon in 0.6.20 and previous allows attackers to cause a
 denial of service via empty TXT data over D-Bus, which triggers an
 assert error.
 
 Updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue.</description>

        <title>MDKSA-2007:184: Updated cacti packages fix vulnerability</title>
        <link>http://www.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDKSA-2007:184</link>
        <description>A vulnerability in Cacti 0.8.6i and earlier versions allows remote
 authenticated users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption)
 via large values of the graph_start, graph_end, graph_height, or
 graph_width parameters.
 
 Updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue.</description>
