Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.12.2005.102.1
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-102-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'sharutils' package(s) announced via the USN-102-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'sharutils' package(s) announced via the USN-102-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Shaun Colley discovered a buffer overflow in 'shar' that was triggered
by output files (specified with -o) with names longer than 49
characters. This could be exploited to run arbitrary attacker
specified code on systems that automatically process uploaded files
with shar.

Ulf Harnhammar discovered that shar does not check the data length
returned by the 'wc' command. However, it is believed that this cannot
actually be exploited on real systems.

Affected Software/OS:
'sharutils' package(s) on Ubuntu 4.10.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.0

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
