openslp vulnerabilities Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : These remote packages are missing security patches : - libslp-dev - libslp1 - openslp-doc - slpd - slptool Description : The SuSE Security Team discovered several buffer overflows in the OpenSLP server and client library. By sending specially crafted SLP packets, a remote attacker could exploit this to crash the SLP server or execute arbitrary code with the rights of the "daemon" user. Likewise, a malicious SLP server could exploit the client library vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the SLP client application. Solution : Upgrade to : - libslp-dev-1.0.11-7ubuntu0.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libslp1-1.0.11-7ubuntu0.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - openslp-doc-1.0.11-7ubuntu0.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - slpd-1.0.11-7ubuntu0.1 (Ubuntu 4.10) - slptool-1.0.11-7ubuntu0.1 (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 |
