Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.57113 |
Category: | Ubuntu Local Security Checks |
Title: | Ubuntu USN-315-1 (xine-lib) |
Summary: | NOSUMMARY |
Description: | Description: The remote host is missing an update to xine-lib announced via advisory USN-315-1. 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. Matthias Hopf discovered several buffer overflows in libmms. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted remote multimedia stream with an application using libmms, a remote attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges. The Xine library contains an embedded copy of libmms, and thus needs the same security update. Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 5.04: libxine1 1.0-1ubuntu3.8 Ubuntu 5.10: libmms0 0.1-0ubuntu1.2 libxine1c2 1.0.1-1ubuntu10.4 Ubuntu 6.06 LTS: libxine-main1 1.1.1+ubuntu2-7.2 In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-315-1 Risk factor : High |
