Synopsis

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

Description

Timothy D. Morgan discovered that Raptor would unconditionally load XML external entities. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted document in an application linked against Raptor, an attacker could possibly obtain access to arbitrary files on the user's system or potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.

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 libraptor2-0 package.
