Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.54180
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-148-1 (zlib)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to zlib
announced via advisory USN-148-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

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

The following packages are affected: zlib1g

Tavis Ormandy discovered that zlib did not properly verify data
streams. Decompressing certain invalid compressed files caused
corruption of internal data structures, which caused applications
which link to zlib to crash. Specially crafted input might even have
allowed arbitrary code execution.

zlib is used by hundreds of server and client applications, so this
vulnerability could be exploited to cause Denial of Service attacks to
almost all services provided by an Ubuntu system.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 1:1.2.1.1-3ubuntu1.1 (for Ubuntu 4.10), or 1:1.2.2-4ubuntu1.1
(for Ubuntu 5.04). A standard system upgrade is NOT SUFFICIENT to
effect the necessary changes! If you can afford to reboot your
machine, this is the easiest way to ensure that all services using
this library are restarted correctly. If not, please manually restart
all server applications.
