| Description: | Description:
The remote host is missing an update to gdk-pixbuf
announced via advisory USN-216-1.
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: gtk2-engines-pixbuf libgdk-pixbuf2
Two integer overflows have been discovered in the XPM image loader of
the GDK pixbuf library. By tricking an user into opening a specially
crafted XPM image with any Gnome desktop application that uses this
library, this could be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user running the application.
(CVE-2005-2976, CVE-2005-3186)
Additionally, specially crafted XPM images could cause an endless loop
in the image loader, which could be exploited to cause applications
trying to open that image to hang. (CVE-2005-2975)
Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
the following versions:
Ubuntu 4.10:
libgdk-pixbuf2: 0.22.0-7ubuntu1.2
gtk2-engines-pixbuf: 2.6.4-0ubuntu3.1
Ubuntu 5.04:
libgdk-pixbuf2: 0.22.0-7ubuntu2.1
gtk2-engines-pixbuf: 2.6.4-0ubuntu3.1
Ubuntu 5.10:
libgdk-pixbuf2: 0.22.0-8ubuntu0.1
gtk2-engines-pixbuf: 2.8.6-0ubuntu2.1
After a standard system upgrade you should restart your session to
effect the necessary changes.
