kdegraphics, koffice vulnerabilities Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : These remote packages are missing security patches : - kamera - karbon - kchart - kcoloredit - kdegraphics - kdegraphics-dev - kdegraphics-doc-html - kdegraphics-kfile-tests - kdvi - kfax - kformula - kgamma - kghostview - kiconedit - kivio - kivio-data - kmrml - koffice - koffice-data - koffice-dev - koffice-doc-html - koffice-libs - kolourpaint - kooka - koshell - kpdf - kpovmodeler - kpresenter - krita - kruler - ksnapshot - kspread - ksvg - kthesaurus - kugar - kuic [...] Description : USN-236-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in xpdf. kpdf and kword contain copies of xpdf code and are thus vulnerable to the same issues. For reference, this is the original advisory: Chris Evans discovered several integer overflows in the XPDF code, which is present in xpdf, the Poppler library, and tetex-bin. By tricking an user into opening a specially crafted PDF file, an attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the application that processes the document. Solution : Upgrade to : - kamera-3.4.3-0ubuntu2.2 (Ubuntu 5.10) - karbon-1.4.1-0ubuntu7.2 (Ubuntu 5.10) - kchart-1.4.1-0ubuntu7.2 (Ubuntu 5.10) - kcoloredit-3.4.3-0ubuntu2.2 (Ubuntu 5.10) - kdegraphics-3.4.3-0ubuntu2.2 (Ubuntu 5.10) - kdegraphics-dev-3.4.3-0ubuntu2.2 (Ubuntu 5.10) - kdegraphics-doc-html-3.4.3-0ubuntu2.2 (Ubuntu 5.10) - kdegraphics-kfile-tests-3.4.3-0ubuntu2.2 (Ubuntu 5.10) - kdvi-3.4.3-0ubuntu2.2 (Ubuntu 5.10) - kfax-3.4.3-0ubuntu2.2 (Ubuntu 5.10) - kformula-1.4.1-0ubuntu7.2 (Ubuntu 5.10) - kgamma [...] Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2005 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2005 Michel Arboi |
