[DLA 676-1] nspr security update

Package : nspr
Version : 4.12-1+deb7u1

The Network Security Service (NSS) libraries uses
environment variables to configure lots of things, some of which refer to
file system locations. Others can be degrade the operation of NSS in various
ways, forcing compatibility modes and so on.

Previously, these environment variables were not ignored SUID
binaries. This version of NetScape Portable Runtime Library (NSPR)
introduce a new API, PR_GetEnVSecure, to address this.

Both NSPR and NSS need to be upgraded to address this problem.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in NSPR version
4.12-1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your nspr packages.

Package : nginx
CVE ID : CVE-2016-1247

suffered from a privilege escalation vulnerability (www-data to root)
due to the way log files are handled. This security update changes
ownership of the /var/log/nginx directory root. In addition,
/var/log/nginx has to be made accessible to local users, and local
users may be able to read the log files themselves local until the
next logrotate invocation.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.6.2-5+deb8u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your nginx packages.
