Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.55034
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-164-1 (netpbm-free)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to netpbm-free announced via advisory USN-164-1. A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) The following packages are affected: netpbm Max Vozeler discovered that the the pstopnm conversion tool did not use the -dSAFER option when calling ghostscript. This option prohibits file operations and calling commands within PostScript code. This flaw could be exploited by an attacker to execute arbitrary code if he tricked an user (or an automatic server) into processing a specially crafted PostScript document with pstopnm. Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 2:10.0-5ubuntu0.1 (for Ubuntu 4.10), or 2:10.0-8ubuntu0.1 (for Ubuntu 5.04). In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-164-1 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.5
