CVE-2014-1593 Mozilla: Buffer overflow while parsing media content (MFSA 2014-88)

CVE-2014-1593 [MEDIUM] CVE-2014-1593 Mozilla: Buffer overflow while parsing media content (MFSA 2014-88)
CVE-2014-1593 Mozilla: Buffer overflow while parsing media content (MFSA 2014-88)
Security researcher Abhishek Arya (Inferno) of the Google Chrome Security Team used the Address Sanitizer tool to discover a buffer overflow during the parsing of media content. This leads to a potentially exploitable crash.
In general this flaw cannot be exploited through email in the Thunderbird product because scripting is disabled, but is potentially a risk in browser or browser-like contexts.

CVE-2001-1593 a2ps: insecure temporary file use

CVE-2001-1593 [LOW] CVE-2001-1593 a2ps: insecure temporary file use
CVE-2001-1593 a2ps: insecure temporary file use
Jakub Wilk found that a2ps, a tool to convert text and other types of files to PostScript, insecurely used a temporary file in spy_user(). A local attacker could use this flaw to perform a symbolic link attack to modify an arbitrary file accessible to the user running a2ps.
The original report in the Debian bug tracking system (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=737385) notes the issue is in src/main.c:
559 tempname_ensure (job->tmp_filenames[0]);
560 spyname = job->tmp_filenames[0];
561 spy = fopen (spyname, "w");
And also notes there are other calls to tempname_ensure().
