A new LittleCMS vulnerability update is available for Ubuntu Linux. Here the announcement:

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-652-1 October 14, 2008
lcms vulnerability
CVE-2007-2741
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS

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 6.06 LTS:
liblcms1 1.13-1ubuntu0.1

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.

Details follow:

Chris Evans discovered that certain ICC operations in lcms were not
correctly bounds-checked. If a user or automated system were tricked
into processing an image with malicious ICC tags, a remote attacker could
crash applications linked against liblcms1, leading to a denial of service,
or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges.


Updated packages for Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
