Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.57269
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-333-1 (libwmf)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to libwmf
announced via advisory USN-333-1.

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.

An integer overflow was found in the handling of the MaxRecordSize
field in the WMF header parser. By tricking a user into opening a
specially crafted WMF image file with an application that uses this
library, an attacker could exploit this to 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:
libwmf0.2-7 0.2.8-1.1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 5.10:
libwmf0.2-7 0.2.8.3-2ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
libwmf0.2-7 0.2.8.3-3.1ubuntu0.1

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