Category:	Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2005:743
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2005:743. The netpbm package contains a library of functions that support programs for handling various graphics file formats, including .pbm (portable bitmaps), .pgm (portable graymaps), .pnm (portable anymaps), .ppm (portable pixmaps) and others. A bug was found in the way netpbm converts PostScript files into PBM, PGM or PPM files. An attacker could create a carefully crafted PostScript file in such a way that it could execute arbitrary commands when the file is processed by a victim using pstopnm. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the name CVE-2005-2471 to this issue. All users of netpbm should upgrade to the updated packages, which contain a backported patch to resolve this issue. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-743.html http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=319757 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.5
