ELA-178-1: sudo security update

Package: sudo
Version: 1.8.5p2-1+nmu3+deb7u5
Related CVE: CVE-2019-14287

In sudo, a program that provides limited super user privileges to specific users, an attacker with access to a Runas ALL sudoer account can bypass certain policy blacklists and session PAM modules, and can cause incorrect logging, by invoking sudo with a crafted user ID. For example, this allows bypass of (ALL,!root) configuration for a “sudo -u#-1” command.

See https://www.sudo.ws/alerts/minus_1_uid.html for further information.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 1.8.5p2-1+nmu3+deb7u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your sudo packages.

Package : poppler
Version : 0.26.5-2+deb8u12
CVE ID : CVE-2019-9959 CVE-2019-10871

Two buffer allocation issues were identified in poppler.

CVE-2019-9959

An unexpected negative length value can cause an integer
overflow, which in turn making it possible to allocate a large
memory chunk on the heap with size controlled by an attacker.

CVE-2019-10871

The RGB data are considered CMYK data and hence it reads 4 bytes
instead of 3 bytes at the end of the image. The fixed version
defines SPLASH_CMYK which is the upstream recommended solution.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
0.26.5-2+deb8u12.

We recommend that you upgrade your poppler packages.
