Summary:	Ubuntu USN-212-1 (libgda2)
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to libgda2 announced via advisory USN-212-1. A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) The following packages are affected: libgda2-1 libgda2-3 Steve Kemp discovered two format string vulnerabilities in the logging handler of the Gnome database access library. Depending on the application that uses the library, this could have been exploited to execute arbitrary code with the permission of the user running the application. Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 1.0.4-1ubuntu0.1 (for Ubuntu 4.10), 1.1.99-1ubuntu0.1 (for Ubuntu 5.04), or 1.2.1-2ubuntu3.1 (for Ubuntu 5.10).
