Piers Morgan is less than happy after a judgement that there is “no doubt” he knew phone hacking was going on at the Daily Mirror, and a shopper comes a-cropper just before Christmas.
All this and more is discussed in the latest edition of the “Smashing Security” podcast by cybersecurity veterans Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault.
Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird, which could
result in denial of service, the execution of arbitrary code or spoofing
of signed PGP/MIME and SMIME emails.
A buffer overflow was discovered in the AV1 video plugin for the
GStreamer media framework, which may result in denial of service or
potentially the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed media file
is opened.
The oldstable distribution (bullseye) is not affected.
It was reported that the BlueZ’s HID profile implementation is not
inline with the HID specification which mandates the use of Security
Mode 4. The HID profile configuration option ClassicBondedOnly now
defaults to “true” to make sure that input connections only come from
bonded device connections.
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mozilla products, the most severe of which could allow for arbitrary code execution.
Mozilla Firefox is a web browser used to access the Internet.
Mozilla Firefox ESR is a version of the web browser intended to be deployed in large organizations.
Mozilla Thunderbird is an email client.
Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow for arbitrary code execution. Depending on the privileges associated with the user an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.
