Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.70823
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-1114-1 (kget)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to kget
announced via advisory USN-1114-1.

Details:

It was discovered that KGet did not properly perform input validation when
processing metalink files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted
metalink file, a remote attacker could overwrite files via directory
traversal, which could eventually lead to arbitrary code execution.

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

Ubuntu 10.10:
kget 4:4.5.1-0ubuntu2.2

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
kget 4:4.4.5-0ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 9.10:
kget 4:4.3.2-0ubuntu4.5
