Package : ruby1.9.1
CVE ID : CVE-2014-4975 CVE-2014-8080 CVE-2014-8090

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in the interpreter for the Ruby
language:

CVE-2014-4975

The encodes() function in pack.c had an off-by-one error that could
lead to a stack-based buffer overflow. This could allow remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or arbitrary code
execution.

CVE-2014-8080, CVE-2014-8090

The REXML parser could be coerced into allocating large string
objects that could consume all available memory on the system. This
could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash).

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.9.3.194-8.1+deb7u3.

For the upcoming stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been
fixed in version 2.1.5-1 of the ruby2.1 source package.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.1.5-1 of the ruby2.1 source package.

We recommend that you upgrade your ruby1.9.1 packages.

Package : unrtf
CVE ID : CVE-2014-9274 CVE-2014-9275
Debian Bug : 772811

Michal Zalewski and Hanno Boeck discovered several vulnerabilities in
unrtf, a RTF to other formats converter, leading to a denial of service
(application crash) or, potentially, the execution of arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in
version 0.21.5-3~deb7u1. This update is based on a new upstream version
of unrtf including additional bug fixes, new features and incompatible
changes (especially PostScript support is dropped).

For the upcoming stable distribution (jessie) and the unstable
distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 0.21.5-2.

We recommend that you upgrade your unrtf packages.
