| Category: | Ubuntu Local Security Checks |
| Title: | Ubuntu USN-295-1 (xine-lib) |
| Summary: | Ubuntu USN-295-1 (xine-lib) |
| Description: | The remote host is missing an update to xine-lib announced via advisory USN-295-1. A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 5.04 Ubuntu 5.10 Ubuntu 6.06 LTS This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu. Federico L. Bossi Bonin discovered a buffer overflow in the HTTP input module. By tricking an user into opening a malicious remote media location, a remote attacker could exploit this to crash Xine library frontends (like totem-xine, gxine, or xine-ui) and possibly even execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges. Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 5.04: libxine1 1.0-1ubuntu3.7 Ubuntu 5.10: libxine1c2 1.0.1-1ubuntu10.3 Ubuntu 6.06 LTS: libxine-main1 1.1.1+ubuntu2-7.1 In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. XXX OR XXX After a standard system upgrade you need to reboot your computer to effect the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-295-1 Risk factor : Medium |
