netpbm-free vulnerability Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : These remote packages are missing security patches : - libnetpbm10 - libnetpbm10-dev - libnetpbm9 - libnetpbm9-dev - netpbm Description : Max Vozeler discovered that the the "pstopnm" conversion tool did not use the -dSAFER option when calling ghostscript. This option prohibits file operations and calling commands within PostScript code. This flaw could be exploited by a possible hacker to execute arbitrary code if he tricked an user (or an automatic server) into processing a specially crafted PostScript document with pstopnm. Solution : Upgrade to : - libnetpbm10-10.0-8ubuntu0.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libnetpbm10-dev-10.0-8ubuntu0.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libnetpbm9-10.0-8ubuntu0.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libnetpbm9-dev-10.0-8ubuntu0.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - netpbm-10.0-8ubuntu0.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2005 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2005 Michel Arboi |
