Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.56563
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-268-1 (kaffeine)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to kaffeine
announced via advisory USN-268-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)
Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)

The following packages are affected: kaffeine

Marcus Meissner discovered a buffer overflow in the http_peek()
function. By tricking an user into opening a specially crafted
playlist URL with Kaffeine, a remote attacker could exploit this to
execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 0.6-0ubuntu2.1 (for Ubuntu 5.04), or 0.7-0ubuntu4.1 (for
Ubuntu 5.10). In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to
effect the necessary changes.
