Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.67129
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-912-1 (audiofile)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to audiofile
announced via advisory USN-912-1.

Details follow:

It was discovered that Audio File Library contained a heap-based buffer
overflow. If a user or automated system processed a crafted WAV file, an
attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or possibly
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the
program. The default compiler options for Ubuntu should reduce this
vulnerability to a denial of service.

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

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
libaudiofile0 0.2.6-6ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
libaudiofile0 0.2.6-7ubuntu1.8.04.1

Ubuntu 8.10:
libaudiofile0 0.2.6-7ubuntu1.8.10.1

Ubuntu 9.04:
libaudiofile0 0.2.6-7ubuntu1.9.04.1

Ubuntu 9.10:
libaudiofile0 0.2.6-7ubuntu2.1

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