Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.56122
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-237-1 (nbd)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to nbd
announced via advisory USN-237-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)

The following packages are affected: nbd-server

Kurt Fitzner discovered that the NBD (network block device) server did
not correctly verify the maximum size of request packets. By sending
specially crafted large request packets, a remote attacker who is
allowed to access the server could exploit this to execute arbitrary
code with root privileges.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 1:2.7.4-1ubuntu0.1. In general, a standard system upgrade is
sufficient to effect the necessary changes.
