Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.72552 |
Category: | Red Hat Local Security Checks |
Title: | RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2012:1455 |
Summary: | NOSUMMARY |
Description: | Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2012:1455. GEGL (Generic Graphics Library) is a graph-based image processing framework. An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way the gegl utility processed .ppm (Portable Pixel Map) image files. An attacker could create a specially-crafted .ppm file that, when opened in gegl, would cause gegl to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-4433) This issue was discovered by Murray McAllister of the Red Hat Security Response Team. Users of gegl should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct 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-2012-1455.html Risk factor : Medium |
