Ubuntu 5.10 / 6.06 LTS / 6.10 : nas vulnerabilities (USN-446-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 28043

Synopsis

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

Description

Luigi Auriemma discovered multiple flaws in the Network Audio System server. Remote attackers could send specially crafted network requests that could lead to a denial of service or execution of arbitrary code.
Note that default Ubuntu installs do not include the NAS server.

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.
