Ubuntu 5.10 / 6.06 LTS / 6.10 : ekiga, gnomemeeting vulnerabilities (USN-426-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 28019

Synopsis

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

Description

Mu Security discovered a format string vulnerability in Ekiga. If a user was running Ekiga and listening for incoming calls, a remote attacker could send a crafted call request, and 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 ekiga and / or gnomemeeting packages.
