Foresight: flashplayer  20 July 2007 
Previous versions of the flashplayer package are vulnerable to a buffer overflow attack caused by an input validation error. An attacker may use malformed or malicious SWF or FLV files to execute arbitrary code as the user of the flashplayer application. Because most flash content is provided by web-pages, this is effectively a remote vulnerability, but can be mitigated if the user disables flash in the browser.
 
Foresight: xfs  12 July 2007 
Previous versions of the xfs package was vulnerable to a temporary-file creation race condition which a local user could exploit to gain elevated permissions.
 
Foresight: avahi avahi-glib avahi-sharp  28 June 2007 
Previous versions of the avahi package were vulnerable to a local Denial of Service caused by an erroneous assert().
 
Foresight: krb5 krb5-workstation  27 June 2007 
Previous versions of the krb5 package are vulnerable to three attacks. Two (MITKRB5-SA-2007-004: CVE-2007-2442 and CVE-2007-2443) are likely limited in practice on Foresight Linux to denial of service, but the third (MITKRB5-SA-2007-005: CVE-2007-2798) is believed to allow a remote arbitrary code execution attack against kadmind servers. Foresight Linux systems are not automatically configured with kadmind enabled.
 
Foresight: libexif  22 June 2007 
Previous versions of the libexif package are vulnerable to an int overflow which could allow a specially-crafted EXIF file to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
