USN1-1 : PNG library vulnerabilities

Vulnerability Assessment Summary PNG library vulnerabilities Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : These remote packages are missing security patches : - libpng10-0 - libpng10-dev - libpng12-0 - libpng12-dev - libpng2 - libpng2-dev - libpng3 - libpng3-dev Description : Several integer overflow vulnerabilities were discovered in the PNG library. These vulnerabilities could be exploited by a possible hacker by providing a specially crafted PNG image which, when processed by the PNG library, could result in the execution of program code provided by the attacker. The PNG library is used by a variety of software packages for different purposes, so the exact nature of the exposure will vary depending on the software involved. Solution : Upgrade to : - libpng10-0-1.0.15-6ubuntu1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libpng10-dev-1.0.15-6ubuntu1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libpng12-0-1.2.5.0-7ubuntu1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libpng12-dev-1.2.5.0-7ubuntu1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libpng2-1.0.15-6ubuntu1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libpng2-dev-1.0.15-6ubuntu1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libpng3-1.2.5.0-7ubuntu1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libpng3-dev-1.2.5.0-7ubuntu1 (Ubuntu 4.10) Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2005 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2005 Michel Arboi
