Ubuntu 4.10 : imagemagick vulnerabilities (USN-35-1)

Markus Meissner discovered several potential buffer overflows in some image decoding functions of ImageMagick. Decoding a malicious BMP or DIB image or AVI video might result in execution of arbitrary code with the user's privileges. Since imagemagick can be used in custom printing systems, this...

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 : libxml vulnerabilities (USN-89-1)

Several buffer overflows have been discovered in libxml's FTP connection and DNS resolution functions. Supplying very long FTP URLs or IP addresses might result in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process using libxml. This does not affect the core XML parsing code, which is...

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...

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...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : netpbm (MDKSA-2005:217)

Greg Roelofs discovered and fixed several buffer overflows in pnmtopng which is also included in netpbm, a collection of graphic conversion utilities, that can lead to the execution of arbitrary code via a specially crafted PNM file. Multiple buffer overflows in pnmtopng in netpbm 10.0 and earlie...

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 : 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 : xpdf vulnerabilities (USN-14-1)

Markus Meissner discovered even more integer overflow vulnerabilities in xpdf, a viewer for PDF files. These integer overflows can eventually lead to buffer overflows. The Common UNIX Printing System CUPS uses the same code to print PDF files; tetex-bin uses the code to generate PDF output and...

Ubuntu 4.10 : XML library vulnerabilities (USN-10-1)

Several buffer overflows have been discovered in libxml2's FTP connection and DNS resolution functions. Supplying very long FTP URLs or IP addresses might result in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process using libxml2. Since libxml2 is used in packages like php4-imagick, t...

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 : libgd2 vulnerabilities (USN-11-1)

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 : kdegraphics (MDKSA-2006:012)

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the DCTStream::readProgressiveSOF and DCTStream::readBaselineSOF functions in the DCT stream parsing code Stream.cc in xpdf 3.01 and earlier, allow user-complicit attackers to cause a denial of service heap corruption and possibly execute arbitrary code via...
