Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.52715
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-128-1 (nasm)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to nasm
announced via advisory USN-128-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)
Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)

The following packages are affected: nasm

Josh Bressers discovered a buffer overflow in the ieee_putascii()
function of nasm. If an attacker tricked a user into assembling a
malicious source file, they could exploit this to execute arbitrary
code with the privileges of the user that runs nasm.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 0.98.38-1ubuntu0.2 (for Ubuntu 4.10), or 0.98.38-1.1ubuntu0.1
(for Ubuntu 5.04). In general, a standard system upgrade is
sufficient to effect the necessary changes.
