Hi, for otrs I need this config: (https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=otrs&project=network%3Aotrs…) %defattr(0644,%{name},www,0775) %dir /opt/%{name}/var/article %dir /opt/%{name}/var/log %dir /opt/%{name}/var/tmp but obs is complaining: permissions-directory-setuid-bit and I should contact security(a)suse.de Here I am :) Is this acceptable ?

Hi, I'm wondering why the email text talks about Thunderbird 3.1.14 while the packages are called 3.1.15 ? The announcement on 9 September was already off-by-one. It announced 3.1.13 but the packages were called 3.1.14 ?? Regards, Armin -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: opensuse-security(a)opensuse.org Gesendet: 04.10.2011 15:08:20 An: opensuse-security-announce(a)opensuse.org Betreff: [security-announce] openSUSE-SU-2011:1076-2: important: MozillaThunderbird: Update to Mozilla Thunderbird 3.1.14 openSUSE Security Update: MozillaThunderbird: Update to Mozilla Thunderbird 3.1.14 ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: openSUSE-SU-2011:1076-2 Rating: important References: #720264 Affected Products: openSUSE 11.4 openSUSE 11.3 ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that contains security fixes can now be installed. It includes two new package versions. Description: Mozilla Thunderbird was updated to version 3.1.14, fixing various bugs and security issues. MFSA 2011-36: Mozilla developers identified and fixed several memory safety bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances, and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. In general these flaws cannot be exploited through email in the Thunderbird and SeaMonkey products because scripting is disabled, but are potentially a risk in browser or browser-like contexts in those products. Benjamin Smedberg, Bob Clary, and Jesse Ruderman reported memory safety problems that affected Firefox 3.6 and Firefox 6. (CVE-2011-2995) Bob Clary, Andrew McCreight, Andreas Gal, Gary Kwong, Igor Bukanov, Jason Orendorff, Jesse Ruderman, and Marcia Knous reported memory safety problems that affected Firefox 6, fixed in Firefox 7. (CVE-2011-2997) MFSA 2011-38: Mozilla developer Boris Zbarsky reported that a frame named "location" could shadow the window.location object unless a script in a page grabbed a reference to the true object before the frame was created. Because some plugins use the value of window.location to determine the page origin this could fool the plugin into granting the plugin content access to another site or the local file system in violation of the Same Origin Policy. This flaw allows circumvention of the fix added for MFSA 2010-10. (CVE-2011-2999) MFSA 2011-39: Ian Graham of Citrix Online reported that when multiple Location headers were present in a redirect response Mozilla behavior differed from other browsers: Mozilla would use the second Location header while Chrome and Internet Explorer would use the first. Two copies of this header with different values could be a symptom of a CRLF injection attack against a vulnerable server. Most commonly it is the Location header itself that is vulnerable to the response splitting and therefore the copy preferred by Mozilla is more likely to be the malicious one. It is possible, however, that the first copy was the injected one depending on the nature of the server vulnerability. The Mozilla browser engine has been changed to treat two copies of this header with different values as an error condition. The same has been done with the headers Content-Length and Content-Disposition. (CVE-2011-3000) MFSA 2011-40: Mariusz Mlynski reported that if you could convince a user to hold down the Enter key--as part of a game or test, perhaps--a malicious page could pop up a download dialog where the held key would then activate the default Open action. For some file types this would be merely annoying (the equivalent of a pop-up) but other file types have powerful scripting capabilities. And this would provide an avenue for an attacker to exploit a vulnerability in applications not normally exposed to potentially hostile internet content. Mariusz also reported a similar flaw with manual plugin installation using the PLUGINSPAGE attribute. It was possible to create an internal error that suppressed a confirmation dialog, such that holding enter would lead to the installation of an arbitrary add-on. (This variant did not affect Firefox 3.6) Holding enter allows arbitrary code execution due to Download Manager (CVE-2011-2372) Holding enter allows arbitrary extension installation (CVE-2011-3001) MFSA 2011-42: Security researcher Aki Helin reported a potentially exploitable crash in the YARR regular expression library used by JavaScript. (CVE-2011-3232) MFSA 2011-44: sczimmer reported that Firefox crashed when loading a particular .ogg file. This was due to a use-after-free condition and could potentially be exploited to install malware. (CVE-2011-3005) This vulnerability does not affect Firefox 3.6 or earlier.
