Ubuntu 4.10 : openslp vulnerabilities (USN-98-1)

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 privileges of the 'daemon' user. Likewise, a malicious SLP...

Ubuntu 4.10 : imlib+png2 vulnerabilities (USN-53-1)

Pavel Kankovsky discovered several buffer overflows in imlib. If an attacker tricked a user into loading a malicious image, he could exploit this to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user opening the image. Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description bloc...

Ubuntu 4.10 / 5.04 / 5.10 : libungif4 vulnerabilities (USN-214-1)

Chris Evans discovered several buffer overflows in the libungif library. By tricking an user or automated system into processing a specially crafted GIF image, this could be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application using libungif. Note that Tenable Network Securi...

Ubuntu 4.10 : imlib2 vulnerabilities (USN-55-1)

Recently, Pavel Kankovsky discovered several buffer overflows in imlib which were fixed in USN-53-1. It was found that imlib2 was vulnerable to similar issues. If an attacker tricked a user into loading a malicious XPM or BMP image, he could exploit this to execute arbitrary code in the context o...

Ubuntu 4.10 : xine-lib vulnerabilities (USN-42-1)

Several buffer overflows have been discovered in xine-lib, the video/audio codec library for Xine frontends xine-ui, totem-xine, kaffeine, and others. If an attacker tricked a user into loading a malicious RTSP stream or a stream with specially crafted AIFF audio or PNM image data, they could...

Ubuntu 4.10 / 5.04 / 5.10 : netpbm-free vulnerabilities (USN-218-1)

Two buffer overflows were discovered in the 'pnmtopng' tool, which were triggered by processing an image with exactly 256 colors when using the -alpha option CVE-2005-3662 or by processing a text file with very long lines when using the -text option CVE-2005-3632. A remote attacker could exploit...

Ubuntu 4.10 : libgd vulnerabilities (USN-21-1)

Several buffer overflows have been discovered in libgd's PNG handling functions. If an attacker tricked a user into loading a malicious PNG image, they could leverage this into executing arbitrary code in the context of the user opening image. Most importantly, this library is commonly used in PH...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : curl (MDKSA-2005:224)

Stefan Esser discovered that libcurl's URL parser function can have a malloced buffer overflows in two ways if given a too long URL. It cannot be triggered by a redirect, which makes remote exploitation unlikely, but can be passed directly to libcurl allowing for local exploitation and could also...

Ubuntu 4.10 : enscript vulnerabilities (USN-68-1)

Erik Sjolund discovered several vulnerabilities in enscript which could cause arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user calling enscript. Quotes and other shell escape characters in titles and file names were not handled in previous versions. CAN-2004-1184 Previous versions support...
