A new libpng vulnerability update is available for Ubuntu Linux. Here the announcement:
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-383-1 November 16, 2006
libpng vulnerability
CVE-2006-5793
==========================
==========================
=========
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 5.10
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10
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:
libpng10-0 1.0.18-1ubuntu3.1
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-5ubuntu0.1
Ubuntu 6.10:
libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-5.1ubuntu0.1
After a standard system upgrade you need to reboot your computer to
effect the necessary changes.
Details follow:
Tavis Ormandy discovered that libpng did not correctly calculate the
size of sPLT structures when reading an image. By tricking a user or an
automated system into processing a specially crafted PNG file, an
attacker could exploit this weakness to crash the application using the
library.
Updated packages for Ubuntu 5.10:
