medium Nessus Plugin ID 127094

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that libEBML incorrectly handled certain media files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted media file, libEBML could possibly be made to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

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 libebml-dev and / or libebml4v5 packages.
