DLA 1454-1: network-manager-vpnc security update

Package : network-manager-vpnc
Version : 0.9.10.0-1+deb8u1
CVE ID : CVE-2018-10900
Debian Bug : 904255


Denis Andzakovic discovered that network-manager-vpnc, a plugin to
provide VPNC support for NetworkManager, is prone to a privilege
escalation vulnerability. A newline character can be used to inject a
Password helper parameter into the configuration data passed to vpnc,
allowing a local user with privileges to modify a system connection to
execute arbitrary commands as root.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
0.9.10.0-1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your network-manager-vpnc packages.

CVE-2018-1000079

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the interpreter for the
Ruby language, which may result in incorrect processing of HTTP/FTP,
directory traversal, command injection, unintended socket creation or
information disclosure.

This update also fixes several issues in RubyGems which could allow an
attacker to use specially crafted gem files to mount cross-site scripting
attacks, cause denial of service through an infinite loop, write arbitrary
files, or run malicious code.

For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.3.3-1+deb9u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your ruby2.3 packages.
