Ubuntu 4.10 / 5.04 : zlib vulnerability (USN-148-1)

Tavis Ormandy discovered that zlib did not properly verify data streams. Decompressing certain invalid compressed files caused corruption of internal data structures, which caused applications which link to zlib to crash. Specially crafted input might even have allowed arbitrary code execution...

Ubuntu 4.10 / 5.04 / 5.10 : rpm vulnerability (USN-151-4)

USN-148-1 and USN-151-1 fixed two security flaws in zlib, which could be exploited to cause Denial of Service attacks or even arbitrary code execution with malicious data streams. Since lsb-rpm is statically linked against the zlib library, it is also affected by these issues. The updated...

Ubuntu 4.10 / 5.04 / 5.10 : aide vulnerabilities (USN-151-3)

USN-148-1 and USN-151-1 fixed two security flaws in zlib, which could be exploited to cause Denial of Service attacks or even arbitrary code execution with malicious data streams. Since aide is statically linked against the zlib library, it is also affected by these issues. The updated packagages...

Ubuntu 4.10 / 5.04 : dpkg, ia32-libs, amd64-libs vulnerabilities (USN-151-2)

USN-148-1 and USN-151-1 fixed two security flaws in zlib, which could be exploited to cause Denial of Service attacks or even arbitrary code execution with malicious data streams. Most applications use the shared library provided by the 'zlib1g' package; however, some packages contain copies of t...

Ubuntu 4.10 / 5.04 : zlib vulnerability (USN-151-1)

USN-148-1 fixed an improver input verification of zlib CAN-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...
