Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50446
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu 4.10 USN-11-1 (libgd2)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to libgd2 announced via advisory USN-11-1. Several buffer overflows have been discovered in libgd's PNG handling functions. If an attacker tricked a user into loading a malicious PNG image, they could leverage this into executing arbitrary code in the context of the user opening image. Most importantly, this library is commonly used in PHP. One possible target would be a PHP driven photo website that lets users upload images. Therefore this vulnerability might lead to privilege escalation to a web server's privileges. The following packages are affected: libgd2-xpm libgd2-noxpm Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected packages to version 2.0.23-2ubuntu0.1. In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2004-October/000013.html Risk factor : High
