A zlib security update is available for Ubuntu Linux

==========================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-148-1 July 06, 2005
zlib vulnerability
CAN-2005-2096
==========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)
Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)

The following packages are affected:

zlib1g

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 1:1.2.1.1-3ubuntu1.1 (for Ubuntu 4.10), or 1:1.2.2-4ubuntu1.1 (for Ubuntu 5.04). A standard system upgrade is NOT SUFFICIENT to effect the necessary changes! If you can afford to reboot your machine, this is the easiest way to ensure that all services using this library are restarted correctly. If not, please manually restart all server applications.



Details follow:

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.

zlib is used by hundreds of server and client applications, so this vulnerability could be exploited to cause Denial of Service attacks to almost all services provided by an Ubuntu system.
