Ubuntu 5.04 / 5.10 / 6.06 LTS : libmms, xine-lib vulnerabilities (USN-315-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 27891

Synopsis

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

Description

Matthias Hopf discovered several buffer overflows in libmms. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted remote multimedia stream with an application using libmms, a remote attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges.

The Xine library contains an embedded copy of libmms, and thus needs the same security update.

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.
