Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.56586
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-270-1 (tetex-bin)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to tetex-bin announced via advisory USN-270-1. 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: cupsys kpdf kword libpoppler0c2 tetex-bin xpdf-reader xpdf-utils Derek Noonburg discovered several integer overflows in the XPDF code, which is present in xpdf, the Poppler library, and tetex-bin. By tricking an user into opening a specially crafted PDF file, an attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application that processes the document. The CUPS printing system also uses XPDF code to convert PDF files to PostScript. By attempting to print such a crafted PDF file, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the printer server (user 'cupsys'). Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected packages to the following versions: Ubuntu 4.10: xpdf: 3.00-8ubuntu1.12 cupsys: 1.1.20final+cvs20040330-4ubuntu16.11 tetex-bin: 2.0.2-21ubuntu0.9 Ubuntu 5.04: xpdf: 3.00-11ubuntu3.8 tetex-bin: 2.0.2-25ubuntu0.5 kpdf: 4:3.4.0-0ubuntu3.6 kword: 1:1.3.5-2ubuntu1.4 Ubuntu 5.10: libpoppler0c2: 0.4.2-0ubuntu6.7 tetex-bin: 2.0.2-30ubuntu3.5 kpdf: 4:3.4.3-0ubuntu2.5 kword: 1:1.4.1-0ubuntu7.3 In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-270-1 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.6
