Debian 9843 Published by

The following two Debian updates has been released:

[DLA 835-1] cakephp security update
[DSA 3793-1] shadow security update



[DLA 835-1] cakephp security update

Package : cakephp
Version : 1.3.15-1+deb7u2
CVE ID : CVE-2016-4793

Dawid Golunski from legalhackers.com discovered that cakephp, an
application development framework for PHP, contains a vulnerability
that allows attackers to spoof the source IP address. It would allow
them to bypass access control lists, or the injection of malicious
data which, if treated as sanitized by an unaware CakePHP-based
application, can lead to other vulnerabilities such as SQL injection,
XSS or command injection.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
1.3.15-1+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your cakephp packages.

Package : shadow
CVE ID : CVE-2016-6252 CVE-2017-2616
Debian Bug : 832170 855943

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the shadow suite. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2016-6252

An integer overflow vulnerability was discovered, potentially
allowing a local user to escalate privileges via crafted input to
the newuidmap utility.

CVE-2017-2616

Tobias Stoeckmann discovered that su does not properly handle
clearing a child PID. A local attacker can take advantage of this
flaw to send SIGKILL to other processes with root privileges,
resulting in denial of service.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
version 1:4.2-3+deb8u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your shadow packages.
