Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2077-2
January 09, 2014

puppet regression
==========================================================================

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

- Ubuntu 13.10
- Ubuntu 13.04
- Ubuntu 12.10
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

USN-2077-1 introduced a regression in Puppet.

Software Description:
- puppet: Centralized configuration management

Details:

USN-2077-1 fixed a vulnerability in Puppet. The upstream patch introduced a
regression resulting in the default file mode being incorrect. This update
fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

It was discovered that Puppet incorrectly handled temporary files. A local
attacker could possibly use this issue to overwrite arbitrary files. In the
default installation of Ubuntu, this should be prevented by the Yama link
restrictions.

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 13.10:
puppet-common 3.2.4-2ubuntu2.3

Ubuntu 13.04:
puppet-common 2.7.18-4ubuntu1.4

Ubuntu 12.10:
puppet-common 2.7.18-1ubuntu1.5

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
puppet-common 2.7.11-1ubuntu2.7

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

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2079-1
January 09, 2014

openssl vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

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

- Ubuntu 13.10
- Ubuntu 13.04
- Ubuntu 12.10
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in OpenSSL.

Software Description:
- openssl: Secure Socket Layer (SSL) cryptographic library and tools

Details:

Anton Johansson discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled certain invalid
TLS handshakes. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause OpenSSL to
crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2013-4353)

Ron Barber discovered that OpenSSL used an incorrect data structure to
obtain a version number. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause
OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2013-6449)

Dmitry Sobinov discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled certain DTLS
retransmissions. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause OpenSSL to
crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2013-6450)

This update also disables the default use of the RdRand feature of certain
Intel CPUs as the sole source of entropy.

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 13.10:
libssl1.0.0 1.0.1e-3ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 13.04:
libssl1.0.0 1.0.1c-4ubuntu8.2

Ubuntu 12.10:
libssl1.0.0 1.0.1c-3ubuntu2.6

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libssl1.0.0 1.0.1-4ubuntu5.11

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
