Package : rails
CVE ID : CVE-2016-2097 CVE-2016-2098

Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in Rails, a web application
framework written in Ruby. Both vulnerabilities affect Action Pack, which
handles the web requests for Rails.

CVE-2016-2097

Crafted requests to Action View, one of the components of Action Pack,
might result in rendering files from arbitrary locations, including
files beyond the application's view directory. This vulnerability is
the result of an incomplete fix of CVE-2016-0752.
This bug was found by Jyoti Singh and Tobias Kraze from Makandra.

CVE-2016-2098

If a web applications does not properly sanitize user inputs, an
attacker might control the arguments of the render method in a
controller or a view, resulting in the possibility of executing
arbitrary ruby code.
This bug was found by Tobias Kraze from Makandra and joernchen of
Phenoelit.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
version 2:4.1.8-1+deb8u2.

For the testing distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed
in version 2:4.2.5.2-1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 2:4.2.5.2-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your rails packages.

Multiple security issues have been found in Iceweasel, Debian's version
of the Mozilla Firefox web browser: Multiple memory safety errors,
buffer overflows, use-after-frees and other implementation errors may
lead to the execution of arbitrary code, denial of service, address bar
spoofing and overwriting local files.

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed
in version 38.7.0esr-1~deb7u1.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
version 38.7.0esr-1~deb8u1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), Debian is in the process of moving
back towards using the Firefox name. These problems will soon be fixed
in the firefox-esr source package.

We recommend that you upgrade your iceweasel packages.

Package : libotr
CVE ID : CVE-2016-2851

Markus Vervier of X41 D-Sec GmbH discovered an integer overflow
vulnerability in libotr, an off-the-record (OTR) messaging library, in
the way how the sizes of portions of incoming messages were stored. A
remote attacker can exploit this flaw by sending crafted messages to an
application that is using libotr to perform denial of service attacks
(application crash), or potentially, execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user running the application.

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed
in version 3.2.1-1+deb7u2.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
version 4.1.0-2+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libotr packages.
