Ubuntu 10.04 LTS / 10.10 / 11.04 / 11.10 : t1lib vulnerability (USN-1316-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 57370

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

Jonathan Brossard discovered that t1lib did not correctly handle certain malformed font files. If a user were tricked into using a specially crafted font file, a remote attacker could cause t1lib to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code with user 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 libt1-5 package.
