USN151-4 : rpm vulnerability |
||
rpm vulnerability Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : These remote packages are missing security patches : - librpm-dev - librpm4 - lsb-rpm - rpm Description : USN-148-1 and USN-151-1 fixed two security flaws in zlib, which could be exploited to cause Denial of Service attacks or even arbitrary code execution with malicious data streams. Since lsb-rpm is statically linked against the zlib library, it is also affected by these issues. The updated packagages have been rebuilt against the fixed zlib. Please note that lsb-rpm is not officially supported (it is in the "universe" component of the archive). Solution : Upgrade to : - librpm-dev-4.0.4-31ubuntu1.1 (Ubuntu 5.10) - librpm4-4.0.4-31ubuntu1.1 (Ubuntu 5.10) - lsb-rpm-4.0.4-31ubuntu1.1 (Ubuntu 5.10) - rpm-4.0.4-31ubuntu1.1 (Ubuntu 5.10) Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2005 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2005 Michel Arboi |
