Red Hat Security Advisory 2013-0217-01 - These packages provide the libxml2 library, a development toolbox providing the implementation of various XML standards, for users of MinGW. IMPORTANT NOTE: The mingw32 packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 will no longer be updated proactively and will be deprecated with the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4. These packages were provided to support other capabilities in Red Hat Enterprise Linux and were not intended for direct customer use. Customers are advised to not use these packages with immediate effect. Future updates to these packages will be at Red Hat's discretion and these packages may be removed in a future minor release.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2013-0218-01 - The xorg-x11-drv-qxl package provides an X11 video driver for the QEMU QXL video accelerator. This driver makes it possible to use Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 as a guest operating system under the KVM kernel module and the QEMU multi-platform emulator, using the SPICE protocol. A flaw was found in the way the host's qemu-kvm qxl driver and the guest's X.Org qxl driver interacted when a SPICE connection terminated. A user able to initiate a SPICE connection to a guest could use this flaw to make the guest temporarily unavailable or, potentially, crash the guest.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2013-0216-01 - FreeType is a free, high-quality, portable font engine that can open and manage font files. It also loads, hints, and renders individual glyphs efficiently. A flaw was found in the way the FreeType font rendering engine processed certain Glyph Bitmap Distribution Format fonts. If a user loaded a specially-crafted font file with an application linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. Users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. The X server must be restarted for this update to take effect.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2013-0214-01 - Network Security Services is a set of libraries designed to support the cross-platform development of security-enabled client and server applications. Netscape Portable Runtime provides platform independence for non-GUI operating system facilities. It was found that a Certificate Authority mis-issued two intermediate certificates to customers. These certificates could be used to launch man-in-the-middle attacks. This update renders those certificates as untrusted. This covers all uses of the certificates, including SSL, S/MIME, and code signing.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2013-0215-01 - ABRT is a tool to help users to detect defects in applications and to create a bug report with all the information needed by a maintainer to fix it. It uses a plug-in system to extend its functionality. libreport provides an API for reporting different problems in applications to different bug targets, such as Bugzilla, FTP, and Trac. It was found that the /usr/libexec/abrt-action-install-debuginfo-to-abrt-cache tool did not sufficiently sanitize its environment variables. This could lead to Python modules being loaded and run from non-standard directories. A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate their privileges to that of the abrt user.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2013-0221-01 - An attack technique against the W3C XML Encryption Standard when block ciphers were used in CBC mode could allow a remote attacker to conduct chosen-ciphertext attacks, leading to the recovery of the entire plain text of a particular cryptogram. JBoss Web Services leaked side-channel data when distributing symmetric keys, allowing a remote attacker to recover the entire plain text form of a symmetric key. Various other issues were also addressed.
