[DLA 471-1] jansson security update
[DSA 3576-1] icedove security update



[DLA 470-1] libksba security update

Package : libksba
Version : 1.2.0-2+deb7u2
CVE ID : CVE-2016-4579

It was discovered that there was a possible read access beyond a buffer
vulnerability in libksba, a X.509 and CMS certificate support library.

The returned length of the object from _ksba_ber_parse_tl (ti.length)
was not always checked against the actual buffer length, thus leading
to a read access after the end of the buffer and thus a SEGV.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", this issue has been fixed in libksba version
1.2.0-2+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libksba packages.

[DLA 471-1] jansson security update

Package : jansson
Version : 2.3.1-2+deb7u1
CVE ID : CVE-2016-4425
Debian Bug : 823238


Applications that depend on Jansson, a C library for encoding,
decoding and manipulating JSON data, could crash due to stack
exhaustion while parsing a JSON file. This was caused due to an
unlimited parsing depth when parsing JSON arrays and is now fixed by
limiting the depth to 2048.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", this problem has been fixed in version
2.3.1-2+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your jansson packages.
