Ubuntu 5.04 / 5.10 : kaffeine vulnerability (USN-268-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 21204

Synopsis

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

Description

Marcus Meissner discovered a buffer overflow in the http_peek() function. By tricking an user into opening a specially crafted playlist URL with Kaffeine, a remote attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges.

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 kaffeine, kaffeine-gstreamer and / or kaffeine-xine packages.
