A new netpbm vulnerability update is available for Ubuntu Linux. Here the announcement:
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-210-1 October 18, 2005
netpbm-free vulnerability
CAN-2005-2978
===========================================================
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)
Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)
Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)
The following packages are affected:
netpbm
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 2:10.0-5ubuntu0.2 (for Ubuntu 4.10), 2:10.0-8ubuntu0.2 (for
Ubuntu 5.04), or 2:10.0-8ubuntu1.1 (for Ubuntu 5.10). In general, a
standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.
Details follow:
A buffer overflow was found in the "pnmtopng" conversion program. By
tricking an user (or automated system) to process a specially crafted
PNM image with pnmtopng, this could be exploited to execute arbitrary
code with the privileges of the user running pnmtopng.
Updated packages for Ubuntu 4.10:
