Ubuntu 4.10 / 5.04 / 5.10 : aide vulnerabilities (USN-151-3)

high Nessus Plugin ID 20551

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

USN-148-1 and USN-151-1 fixed two security flaws in zlib, which could be exploited to cause Denial of Service attacks or even arbitrary code execution with malicious data streams.

Since aide is statically linked against the zlib library, it is also affected by these issues. The updated packagages have been rebuilt against the fixed zlib.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected aide package.
