Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.60629
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-590-1 (bzip2)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to bzip2
announced via advisory USN-590-1.

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.

Details follow:

It was discovered that bzip2 did not correctly handle certain malformed
archives. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing
a specially crafted bzip2 archive, applications linked against libbz2
could be made to crash, possibly 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:
libbz2-1.0 1.0.3-0ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 6.10:
libbz2-1.0 1.0.3-3ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 7.04:
libbz2-1.0 1.0.3-6ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 7.10:
libbz2-1.0 1.0.4-0ubuntu2.1

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