USN151-1 : zlib vulnerability |

zlib vulnerability Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : These remote packages are missing security patches : - zlib-bin - zlib1g - zlib1g-dev Description : USN-148-1 fixed an improver input verification of zlib (CVE-2005-2096). Markus Oberhumer discovered additional ways a disrupted stream could trigger a buffer overflow and crash the application using zlib, so another update is necessary. zlib is used by hundreds of server and client applications, so this vulnerability could be exploited to cause Denial of Service attacks to almost all services provided by an Ubuntu system. Solution : Upgrade to : - zlib-bin-1.2.2-4ubuntu1.2 (Ubuntu 5.04) - zlib1g-1.2.2-4ubuntu1.2 (Ubuntu 5.04) - zlib1g-dev-1.2.2-4ubuntu1.2 (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 |
