Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-550-1 (libcairo)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

announced via advisory USN-550-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10
Ubuntu 7.04
Ubuntu 7.10

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

Peter Valchev discovered that Cairo did not correctly decode PNG image data.
By tricking a user or automated system into processing a specially crafted
PNG with Cairo, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with user
privileges.

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

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
libcairo2 1.0.4-0ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 6.10:

the necessary changes.
