Private Chef 1.4.7 Release

This security release includes fixes for the following:

libyaml 0.1.5
[CVE-2013-6393] – ml_parser_scan_tag_uri function in scanner.c performs incorrect cast

OpenSSL 1.0.1f
[CVE-2013-4353] – allows remote TLS servers to cause a denial of service

Nginx 1.4.4
[CVE-2013-2070] – when proxy_pass is used with untrusted HTTP servers, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
[CVE-2013-4547] – allows remote attackers to bypass intended restrictions via an unescaped space character in a URI

Ruby 1.9.3-p484
[CVE-2013-4164] – heap-based buffer overflow allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a string that is converted to a floating point value

PostgreSQL 9.1.9
[CVE-2013-1899] – allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (file corruption), and allows remote authenticated users to modify configuration settings and execute arbitrary code
[CVE-2013-1900] – when using OpenSSL, generates insufficiently random numbers, which might allow remote authenticated users to have an unspecified impact via vectors related to the “contrib/pgcrypto functions”
[CVE-2013-1901] – does not properly check REPLICATION privileges, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended backup restrictions by calling the (1) pg_start_backup or (2) pg_stop_backup functions
[CVE-2013-1902] – generates insecure temporary files with predictable filenames, which has unspecified impact and attack vectors related to “graphical installers for Linux and Mac OS X”
[CVE-2013-1903]- incorrectly provides the superuser password to scripts related to “graphical installers for Linux and Mac OS X,” which has unspecified impact and attack vectors
