Specially crafted regular expressions triggered a buffer overflow. On systems that accept arbitrary regular expressions from untrusted users, this could be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the application using the library. Solution : Upgrade to : - libpcre3-4.5-1.1ubuntu0.5.04 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libpcre3-dev-4.5-1.1ubuntu0.5.04 (Ubuntu 5.04) - pcregrep-4.5-1.1ubuntu0.5.04 (Ubuntu 5.04) - pgrep-4.5-1.1ubuntu0.5.04 (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 |
