Ubuntu 4.10 : imlib+png2 vulnerabilities (USN-53-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 20671

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

Pavel Kankovsky discovered several buffer overflows in imlib. If an attacker tricked a user into loading a malicious image, he could exploit this to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user opening the image.

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 packages.
