Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1584-1
September 26, 2012

transmission vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

Transmission could be made to expose sensitive information over the
network.

Software Description:
- transmission: lightweight BitTorrent client

Details:

Justin C. Klein Keane discovered that the Transmission web client
incorrectly escaped certain strings. If a user were tricked into opening a
specially crafted torrent file, an attacker could possibly exploit this to
conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
transmission-common 2.51-0ubuntu1.1

After a standard system update you need to restart Transmission to make
all the necessary changes.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1585-1

freeradius vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 11.10
- Ubuntu 11.04

Summary:

FreeRADIUS could be made to crash or run programs if it received
specially crafted network traffic.

Software Description:
- freeradius: a high-performance and highly configurable RADIUS server

Details:

Timo Warns discovered that FreeRADIUS incorrectly handled certain long
timestamps in client certificates. A remote attacker could exploit this
flaw and cause the FreeRADIUS server to crash, resulting in a denial of
service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

The default compiler options for affected releases should reduce the
vulnerability to a denial of service.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
freeradius 2.1.10+dfsg-3ubuntu0.12.04.1

Ubuntu 11.10:
freeradius 2.1.10+dfsg-3ubuntu0.11.10.1

Ubuntu 11.04:
freeradius 2.1.10+dfsg-2ubuntu2.1

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
