Ubuntu 11.04 / 11.10 : usbmuxd vulnerability (USN-1354-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 57790

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

It was discovered that usbmuxd did not correctly perform bounds checking when processing the SerialNumber field of USB devices. An attacker with physical access could use this to crash usbmuxd or potentially execute arbitrary code as the 'usbmux' user.

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 libusbmuxd1 package.
