Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.60114
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-562-1 (opal)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to opal
announced via advisory USN-562-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10
Ubuntu 7.04

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

Jose Miguel Esparza discovered that certain SIP headers were not correctly
validated. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted packet to
an application linked against opal (e.g. Ekiga) causing it to crash, leading
to a denial of service.

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

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
libopal-2.2.0 2.2.1-1ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 6.10:
libopal-2.2.0 2.2.3.dfsg-0ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 7.04:
libopal-2.2.0 2.2.3.dfsg-2ubuntu2.1

After a standard system upgrade you need to restart your session to effect
the necessary changes.
