Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.70893
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-1174-1 (libsndfile1)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to libsndfile1
announced via advisory USN-1174-1.

Details:

Hossein Lotfi discovered that libsndfile did not properly verify the header
length and number of channels for PARIS Audio Format (PAF) audio files. An
attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service via application
crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
invoking the program.

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

Ubuntu 11.04:
libsndfile1 1.0.23-1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 10.10:
libsndfile1 1.0.21-2ubuntu0.10.10.1

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
libsndfile1 1.0.21-2ubuntu0.10.04.1
