Ubuntu 5.04 / 5.10 / 6.06 LTS : libtunepimp vulnerability (USN-318-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 27894

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

Kevin Kofler discovered several buffer overflows in the tag parser. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted tagged multimedia file (such as .ogg or .mp3 music) with an application that uses libtunepimp, this could be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges.

This particularly affects the KDE applications 'Amarok' and 'Juk'.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
