Ubuntu 5.04 / 5.10 / 6.06 LTS : libmusicbrainz-2.0, libmusicbrainz-2.1 vulnerability (USN-363-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 27943

Synopsis

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

Description

Luigi Auriemma discovered multiple buffer overflows in libmusicbrainz.
When a user made queries to MusicBrainz servers, it was possible for malicious servers, or man-in-the-middle systems posing as servers, to send a crafted reply to the client request and remotely gain access to the user's system 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 packages.
