Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.57116
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-318-1 (libtunepimp)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to libtunepimp
announced via advisory USN-318-1.

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.

Kevin Kofler discovered several buffer overflows in the tag parser. By
tricking a user into opening a specially crafted tagged multimedia
file (such as .ogg or .mp3 music) with an application that uses
libtunepimp, this could be exploited to execute arbitrary code with
the user's privileges.

This particularly affects the KDE applications 'Amarok' and 'Juk'.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 5.04:
libtunepimp2 0.3.0-2ubuntu5.1

Ubuntu 5.10:
libtunepimp2c2 0.3.0-2ubuntu7.1

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
libtunepimp2c2a 0.3.0-9.1ubuntu3.1

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
