Title:	Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-1589-2)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'glibc' package(s) announced via the USN-1589-2 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'glibc' package(s) announced via the USN-1589-2 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: USN-1589-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the GNU C Library. One of the updates exposed a regression in the floating point parser. This update fixes the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience. Original advisory details: It was discovered that positional arguments to the printf() family of functions were not handled properly in the GNU C Library. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a stack-based buffer overflow, creating a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-3404, CVE-2012-3405, CVE-2012-3406) It was discovered that multiple integer overflows existed in the strtod(), strtof() and strtold() functions in the GNU C Library. An attacker could possibly use this to trigger a stack-based buffer overflow, creating a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-3480) Affected Software/OS: 'glibc' package(s) on Ubuntu 8.04. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 4.6 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
