Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-660-1 (enscript)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to enscript announced via advisory USN-660-1. A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Ubuntu 7.10 Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Ubuntu 8.10 This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu. Details follow: Ulf Härnhammar discovered multiple stack overflows in enscript's handling of special escape arguments. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a malicious file with the -e option enabled, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code or cause enscript 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: enscript 1.6.4-7ubuntu0.2 Ubuntu 7.10: enscript 1.6.4-11ubuntu0.2 Ubuntu 8.04 LTS: enscript 1.6.4-12ubuntu0.8.04.1 Ubuntu 8.10: enscript 1.6.4-12ubuntu0.8.10.1 In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-660-1 Risk factor : Critical CVSS Score: 9.3
