typo3-src - several vulnerabilities
Affecting typo3-src package on Debian:5.0
Context / Overview
Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in TYPO3. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:
- CVE-2010-3714 Multiple remote file disclosure vulnerabilities in the jumpUrl mechanism and the Extension Manager allowed attackers to read files with the privileges of the account under which the web server was running.
- CVE-2010-3715 The TYPO3 backend contained several cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, and the RemoveXSS function did not filter all Javascript code.
- CVE-2010-3716 Malicious editors with user creation permission could escalate their privileges by creating new users in arbitrary groups, due to lack of input validation in the taskcenter.
- CVE-2010-3717 TYPO3 exposed a crasher bug in the PHP filter_var function, enabling attackers to cause the web server process to crash and thus consume additional system resources.
For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 4.2.5-1+lenny6.
For the unstable distribution (sid) and the upcoming stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 4.3.7-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your TYPO3 packages.

OSV-Scanner
Objective: Dependency check (SCA)
Description: OSV-Scanner provides an officially supported frontend to the OSV database that connects a project’s list of dependencies with the vulnerabilities that affect them. Since the OSV.dev database is open source and distributed, it has several benefits in comparison with closed source advisory databases and scanners:
Vulnerability Layer - SCA
SCA Dependency Check is one of the important tools used to identify vulnerabilities in open-source components used in software applications. However, it primarily focuses on identifying vulnerabilities in the dependency layer of the software application. In contrast, code vulnerability layer analysis is focused on identifying vulnerabilities in the source code of the application itself, rather than the dependencies it uses. It typically involves analyzing the source code to identify security issues such as buffer overflows, injection vulnerabilities, and authentication issues, among others. While SCA Dependency Check is an important tool in identifying vulnerabilities in open-source dependencies, it may not be sufficient to ensure the overall security of the software application. To ensure comprehensive security, it is important to also perform code vulnerability layer analysis to identify vulnerabilities in the source code of the application. Incorporating both SCA Dependency Check and code vulnerability layer analysis into the software development lifecycle can help ensure that vulnerabilities are identified and remediated at both the dependency and code layers of the application. This can help prevent security issues from being introduced into the final product and improve the overall security posture of the software application.
