Synopsis
The remote OracleVM host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The remote OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address critical security updates :- Revert change to whitelist /rss/ resources, as this was not used upstream.
- More STR #4461 fixes from upstream: make rss feeds world-readable, but cachedir private.
- Fix icon display in web interface during server restart (STR #4475).
- Fixes for upstream patch for STR #4461: allow /rss/ requests for files we created.
- Use upstream patch for STR #4461.
- Applied upstream patch to fix CVE-2014-5029 (bug #1122600), CVE-2014-5030 (bug #1128764), CVE-2014-5031 (bug #1128767).
- Fix conf/log file reading for authenticated users (STR #4461).
- Fix CGI handling (STR #4454, bug #1120419).
- fix patch for CVE-2014-3537 (bug #1117794)
- CVE-2014-2856: cross-site scripting flaw (bug #1117798)
- CVE-2014-3537: insufficient checking leads to privilege escalation (bug #1117794)
- Removed package description changes.
- Applied patch to fix 'Bad request' errors as a result of adding in httpSetTimeout (STR #4440, also part of svn revision 9967).
- Fixed timeout issue with cupsd reading when there is no data ready (bug #1110045).
- Fixed synconclose patch to avoid 'too many arguments for format' warning.
- Fixed settimeout patch to include math.h for fmod declaration.
- Fixed typo preventing web interface from changing driver (bug #1104483, STR #3601).
- Fixed SyncOnClose patch (bug #984883).
- Use upstream patch to avoid replaying GSS credentials (bug #1040293).
- Prevent BrowsePoll problems across suspend/resume (bug #769292) :
- Eliminate indefinite wait for response (svn revision 9688).
- Backported httpSetTimeout API function from CUPS 1.5 and use it in the ipp backend so that we wait indefinitely until the printer responds, we get a hard error, or the job is cancelled.
- cups-polld: reconnect on error.
- Added new SyncOnClose directive to use fsync after altering configuration files: defaults to 'Yes'. Adjust in cupsd.conf (bug #984883).
- Fix cupsctl man page typo (bug #1011076).
- Use more portable rpm specfile syntax for conditional php building (bug #988598).
- Fix SetEnv directive in cupsd.conf (bug #986495).
- Fix 'collection' attribute sending (bug #978387).
- Prevent format_log segfault (bug #971079).
- Prevent stringpool corruption (bug #884851).

- Upstream patch for broken multipart handling (bug #852846).
- Install /etc/cron.daily/cups with correct permissions (bug #1012482).
- Fixes for jobs with multiple files and multiple formats (bug #972242).
- Applied patch to fix CVE-2012-5519 (privilege escalation for users in SystemGroup or with equivalent polkit permission). This prevents HTTP PUT requests with paths under /admin/conf/ other than that for cupsd.conf, and also prevents such requests altering certain configuration directives such as PageLog and FileDevice (bug #875898).
