A new libmms vulnerability update is available for Ubuntu Linux. Here the announcement:
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-309-1 July 05, 2006
libmms vulnerability
CVE-2006-2200
==========================
==========================
=========
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 5.10
This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:
Ubuntu 5.10:
libmms0 0.1-0ubuntu1.1
In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
Details follow:
Several buffer overflows were found in libmms. By tricking a user into
opening a specially crafted remote multimedia stream with an
application using libmms, a remote attacker could overwrite an
arbitrary memory portion with zeros, thereby crashing the program.
In Ubuntu 5.10, this affects the GStreamer MMS plugin
(gstreamer0.8-mms). Other Ubuntu releases do not support this library.
Updated packages for Ubuntu 5.10:
