Bug#639916: spread: license wackiness

2011-08-31 Thread Hendrik Weimer
Ken Arromdee arrom...@rahul.net writes:

 Unlike the original BSD 4 clause license this adds or software that uses
 this software.

 If I interpret this broadly (all software that uses this software must
 display the sentence) it's non-free, since it imposes conditions on
 non-derived software that happens to use it.  Even if I interpret it
 narrowly (all advertising materials mentioning software that uses this
 software, must display the sentence) it imposes conditions on advertising
 for non-derived software.

But this does not break unrelated software as the code that uses it has
to be inserted deliberately, making it no longer unrelated. In a way,
this is a stronger restriction than the usual linking arguments pushed
by the FSF, but it's not totally crazy. In some jurisdictions even
copying a program into memory by an exec(3) call is an action for which
you need the permission by the rights holder.

Bug#423379: OpenSSL license violation

2007-05-11 Thread Hendrik Weimer
Package: kmymoney2
Version: 0.8.6-1
Severity: serious

According to the copyright file kmymoney2 is being distributed under
GPLv2. However, it depends on libgwenhywfar, which in turns is linked
against OpenSSL. While libgwenhywfar contains an OpenSSL exception,
kmymoney2 does not.

So, please obtain an OpenSSL exception from upstream, fix bug #340573,
or upload a version not linking against libgwenhywfar.

Bug#403034: Deep MIME Nesting Content Filter Bypass

2006-12-14 Thread Hendrik Weimer
Package: clamav
Version: 0.88.7-1
Severity: grave
Tags: security

While the new 0.88.7 version fixes CVE-2006-6406 and CVE-2006-6481 the
update introduces another flaw that lets viruses pass undetected. If a
virus is nested deeper than the --max-mail-recursion limit, the file
will pass and ClamAV's exit code indicates that the file was scanned
properly.

Again, details, PoC, and discussion can be found at
http://www.quantenblog.net/security/virus-scanner-bypass.

Bug#401873: closed by Stephen Gran [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Bug#401873: fixed in clamav 0.90~rc2-1)

2006-12-13 Thread Hendrik Weimer
The bug is still present in 0.88.7. Files nested deeper than
--max-mail-recursion are not scanned and there is no error returned
(exit code is 0). When using clamscan I get a warning from libclamav,
but the EICAR string still passes.

Bug#401873: Unusual MIME Encoding Content Filter Bypass

2006-12-06 Thread Hendrik Weimer
Package: clamav
Version: 0.88.6-1
Tags: security
Severity: grave

As reported in http://www.quantenblog.net/security/virus-scanner-bypass 
ClamAV passed an EICAR test file if the following conditions are met:

1. the EICAR file is encoded in Base64 including characters not in the
   standard alphabet (e.g. whitespaces) and
2. the part containing the EICAR file is nested within one or several
   levels of multipart/mixed content.
