Technical Cyber Security Alert 2012-45A - There are multiple vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows, Internet Explorer, Microsoft .NET Framework, Silverlight, Office, and Microsoft Server Software. Microsoft has released updates to address these vulnerabilities.
Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2012-019 - tables/apr_hash.c in the Apache Portable Runtime library through 1.4.5 computes hash values without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted input to an application that maintains a hash table. APR has been upgraded to the latest version which holds many improvements over the previous versions and is not vulnerable to this issue.
The mobile.chicagotribune.com site suffers from a cross site scripting vulnerability.
Ubuntu Security Notice 1365-1 - It was discovered that Puppet would allow remote ralsh under certain circumstances. An attacker on an authenticated puppet node could exploit this to view or manipulate resources on other Puppet nodes.
Netragard, L.L.C Advisory - Sonexis ConferenceManager versions up to 10.x suffer from multiple information disclosure and lack of authentication vulnerabilities.
Adsuck is a small DNS server that spoofs blacklisted addresses and forwards all other queries. The idea is to be able to prevent connections to undesirable sites such as ad servers, crawlers, etc. It can be used locally, for the road warrior, or on the network perimeter in order to protect local machines from malicious sites.
Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2012-018 - Use-after-free vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox 10.x before 10.0.1, Thunderbird 10.x before 10.0.1, and SeaMonkey 2.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors that trigger failure of an nsXBLDocumentInfo::ReadPrototypeBindings function call.
Slackware Security Advisory - New vsftpd packages are available for Slackware 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, and -current to work around a vulnerability in glibc.
Slackware Security Advisory - New proftpd packages are available for Slackware 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, and -current to fix security issues.
Facebook View My Calendar suffers from a remote SQL injection vulnerability.
Facebook Life Smile suffers from a remote SQL injection vulnerability.
This is an AES-128, AES-192 and AES-256 implementation for FASM. It uses the x86 32-bit instruction set and operates completely on the stack. No additional data segments are necessary which makes it easy to integrate the AES functions in any existing project. The implementation is not optimized for speed but for easy maintainability.
Worstpreviews suffers from a remote SQL injection vulnerability.
EditWRX CMS suffers from a remote code execution vulnerability due to a mishandling of data passed to open().
Even if a user has their security settings with no history enabled, Skype 5.x.x fails to securely remove chat messages stored in the sqlite3 database.
Weibo.com suffers from a cross site scripting vulnerability.
Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-0126-01 - The glibc packages contain the standard C libraries used by multiple programs on the system. These packages contain the standard C and the standard math libraries. Without these two libraries, a Linux system cannot function properly. An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way the glibc library read timezone files. If a carefully-crafted timezone file was loaded by an application linked against glibc, it could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-0128-01 - The Apache HTTP Server is a popular web server. It was discovered that the fix for CVE-2011-3368 did not completely address the problem. An attacker could bypass the fix and make a reverse proxy connect to an arbitrary server not directly accessible to the attacker by sending an HTTP version 0.9 request, or by using a specially-crafted URI. The httpd server included the full HTTP header line in the default error page generated when receiving an excessively long or malformed header. Malicious JavaScript running in the server's domain context could use this flaw to gain access to httpOnly cookies.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-0127-01 - MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. It consists of the MySQL server daemon and many client programs and libraries. This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the MySQL database server. These updated packages upgrade MySQL to version 5.0.95.
Slackware Security Advisory - New glibc packages are available for Slackware 13.1, 13.37, and -current to fix a security issue.
Slackware Security Advisory - New php packages are available for Slackware 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, and -current to fix security issues.
Slackware Security Advisory - New httpd packages are available for Slackware 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, and -current to fix security issues. The apr-util package has also been updated to the latest version.
Ubuntu Security Notice 1359-1 - It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly performed certain caching and recycling operations. A remote attacker could use this flaw to obtain read access to IP address and HTTP header information in certain cases. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 11.10. It was discovered that Tomcat computed hash values for form parameters without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably. A remote attacker could cause a denial of service by sending many crafted parameters. Various other issues were also addressed.
