Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu 4.10 USN-1-1 (PNG library)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to PNG library announced via advisory USN-1-1. Several integer overflow vulnerabilities were discovered in the PNG library. These vulnerabilities could be exploited by an attacker by providing a specially crafted PNG image which, when processed by the PNG library, could result in the execution of program code provided by the attacker. The PNG library is used by a variety of software packages for different purposes, so the exact nature of the exposure will vary depending on the software involved. The following packages are affected: libpng12-0 libpng12-dev libpng10-0 libpng10-dev Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 1.2.5.0-7ubuntu1 (libpng12-0 and libpng12-dev) or 1.0.15-6ubuntu1 (libpng10-0 and libpng10-dev). In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2004-October/000000.html Risk factor : High
