The Debian project has announced its latest point release for Debian Linux 12, codenamed “bookworm,” marking the eighth update to this stable distribution. This 12.8 update primarily addresses security issues and fixes various critical bugs, enhancing the reliability and security of the system. Importantly, this release is not a new version but an update to existing packages within Debian 12. Users who routinely update via security.debian.org will notice only minimal changes, as most updates are rolled into this point release. There is no need to replace existing installation media for bookworm; a simple upgrade through an up-to-date Debian mirror suffices… [Continue Reading]

Debian Security Advisory DSA 830-1 - Drew Parsons noticed that the post-installation script of ntlmaps, an NTLM authorization proxy server, changes the permissions of the configuration file to be world-readable. It contains the user name and password of the Windows NT system that ntlmaps connects to and, hence, leaks them to local users.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 3417-1 - Tibor Jager, Jorg Schwenk, and Juraj Somorovsky, from Horst Gortz Institute for IT Security, published a paper in ESORICS 2015 where they describe an invalid curve attack in Bouncy Castle Crypto, a Java library for cryptography. An attacker is able to recover private Elliptic Curve keys from different applications, for example, TLS servers.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 3457-1 - Multiple security issues have been found in Iceweasel, Debian's version buffer overflow may lead to the execution of arbitrary code. In addition the bundled NSS crypto library addresses the SLOTH attack on TLS 1.2.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 3967-1 - An authentication bypass vulnerability was discovered in mbed TLS, a lightweight crypto and SSL/TLS library, when the authentication mode is configured as 'optional'. A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to mount a man-in-the-middle attack and impersonate an intended peer via an X.509 certificate chain with many intermediates.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 4138-1 - Several vulnerabilities were discovered in mbed TLS, a lightweight crypto and SSL/TLS library, that allowed a remote attacker to either cause a denial-of-service by application crash, or execute arbitrary code.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 4296-1 - Two vulnerabilities were discovered in mbedtls, a lightweight crypto and SSL/TLS library which could result in plain text recovery via side-channel attacks.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 4584-1 - Two vulnerabilities were discovered in spamassassin, a Perl-based spam filter using text analysis.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 4577-1 - Tim Dusterhus discovered that haproxy, a TCP/HTTP reverse proxy, did not properly sanitize HTTP headers when converting from HTTP/2 to HTTP/1. This would allow a remote user to perform CRLF injections.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 4611-1 - Qualys discovered that the OpenSMTPD SMTP server performed insufficient validation of email addresses which could result in the execution of arbitrary commands as root. In addition this update fixes a denial of service by triggering an opportunistic TLS downgrade.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 4610-1 - Multiple code execution vulnerabilities have been addressed in the webkit2gtk web engine.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 4612-1 - It was discovered that the LDAP authentication modules for the Prosody Jabber/XMPP server incorrectly validated the XMPP address when checking whether a user has admin access.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 4613-1 - A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in the idn2_to_ascii_4i() function in libidn2, the GNU library for Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs), which could result in denial of service, or the execution of arbitrary code when processing a long domain string.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 4614-1 - Joe Vennix discovered a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in sudo, a program designed to provide limited super user privileges to specific users, triggerable when configured with the "pwfeedback" option enabled. An unprivileged user can take advantage of this flaw to obtain full root privileges.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 4615-1 - Two vulnerabilities were discovered in spamassassin, a Perl-based spam filter using text analysis. Malicious rule or configuration files, possibly downloaded from an updates server, could execute arbitrary commands under multiple scenarios.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 4616-1 - Two security issues have been found in the SLiRP networking implementation of QEMU, a fast processor emulator, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code or denial of service.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 4617-1 - Two security issues were found in the Qt library, which could result in plugins and libraries being loaded from the current working directory, resulting in potential code execution.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 4619-1 - Guillaume Teissier reported that the XMLRPC client in libxmlrpc3-java, an XML-RPC implementation in Java, does perform deserialization of the server-side exception serialized in the faultCause attribute of XMLRPC error response messages. A malicious XMLRPC server can take advantage of this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of an application using the Apache XMLRPC client library.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 4618-1 - An out-of-bounds write vulnerability due to an integer overflow was reported in libexif, a library to parse EXIF files, which could result in denial of service, or potentially the execution of arbitrary code if specially crafted image files are processed.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 4622-1 - Tom Lane discovered that "ALTER ... DEPENDS ON EXTENSION" sub commands in the PostgreSQL database did not perform authorisation checks.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 4629-1 - Simon Charette discovered that Django, a high-level Python web development framework, did not properly handle input in its PostgreSQL module. A remote attacker could leverage this to perform SQL injection attacks.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 4633-1 - Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in cURL, an URL transfer library.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 4604-1 - Multiple issues have been found in cacti, a server monitoring system, potentially resulting in SQL code execution or information disclosure by authenticated users.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 4628-1 - Multiple security issues were found in PHP, a widely-used open source general purpose scripting language which could result in information disclosure, denial of service or incorrect validation of path names.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 4535-1 - Lilith of Cisco Talos discovered a buffer overflow flaw in the quota code used by e2fsck from the ext2/ext3/ext4 file system utilities. Running e2fsck on a malformed file system can result in the execution of arbitrary code.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 4607-1 - Lukas Kupczyk reported a vulnerability in the handling of chunked HTTP in openconnect, an open client for Cisco AnyConnect, Pulse and GlobalProtect VPN. A malicious HTTP server (after having accepted its identity certificate), can provide bogus chunk lengths for chunked HTTP encoding and cause a heap-based buffer overflow.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 4367-2 - The Qualys Research Labs reported that the backported security fixes shipped in DSA 4367-1 contained a memory leak in systemd-journald. This and an unrelated bug in systemd-coredump are corrected in this update.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 4181-1 - Andrea Basile discovered that the 'archive' plugin in roundcube, a skinnable AJAX based webmail solution for IMAP servers, does not properly sanitize a user-controlled parameter, allowing a remote attacker to inject arbitrary IMAP commands and perform malicious actions.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 4344-1 - Aidan Marlin discovered that roundcube, a skinnable AJAX based webmail solution for IMAP servers, is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability in handling invalid style tag content.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 4458-1 - A flaw was discovered in the CalDAV feature in httpd of the Cyrus IMAP server, leading to denial of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary code via a crafted HTTP PUT operation for an event with a long iCalendar property name.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 4510-1 - Nick Roessler and Rafi Rubin discovered that the IMAP and ManageSieve protocol parsers in the Dovecot email server do not properly validate input (both pre- and post-login). A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to trigger out of bounds heap memory writes, leading to information leaks or potentially the execution of arbitrary code.
