Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.55921
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-218-1 (netpbm-free)
Summary:	Ubuntu USN-218-1 (netpbm-free)
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to netpbm-free announced via advisory USN-218-1. 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: netpbm Two buffer overflows were discovered in the 'pnmtopng' tool, which were triggered by processing an image with exactly 256 colors when using the -alpha option (CVE-2005-3662) or by processing a text file with very long lines when using the -text option (CVE-2005-3632). A remote attacker could exploit these to execute arbitrary code by tricking an user or an automated system into processing a specially crafted PNM file with pnmtopng. Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 2:10.0-5ubuntu0.3 (for Ubuntu 4.10), 2:10.0-8ubuntu0.3 (for Ubuntu 5.04), or 2:10.0-8ubuntu1.2 (for Ubuntu 5.10). In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-218-1 Risk factor : Medium
