This update ships updated CPU microcode for most types of Intel CPUs. It provides microcode support to implement mitigations for the MSBDS, MFBDS, MLPDS and MDSUM hardware vulnerabilities.

To fully resolve these vulnerabilities it is also necessary to update the Linux kernel packages. An update for that will follow soon.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 3.20190514.1~deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your intel-microcode packages.

ELA-122-1 curl security update


Package: curl
Version: 7.26.0-1+wheezy25+deb7u4
Related CVE: CVE-2019-5436
cURL, an URL transfer library, contains a heap buffer overflow in the function tftp_receive_packet() that receives data from a TFTP server. It calls recvfrom() with the default size for the buffer rather than with the size that was used to allocate it. Thus, the content that might overwrite the heap memory is entirely controlled by the server.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 7.26.0-1+wheezy25+deb7u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your curl packages.
