Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.56078
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-234-1 (cpio)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to cpio announced via advisory USN-234-1. 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: cpio Richard Harms discovered that cpio did not sufficiently validate file properties when creating archives. Files with e. g. a very large size caused a buffer overflow. By tricking a user or an automatic backup system into putting a specially crafted file into a cpio archive, a local attacker could probably exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the target user (which is likely root in an automatic backup system). Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 2.5-1.1ubuntu0.3 (for Ubuntu 4.10), 2.5-1.1ubuntu1.2 (for Ubuntu 5.04), or 2.5-1.2ubuntu1.1 (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-234-1 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 3.7
