A new dvipng vulnerability update is available for Ubuntu Linux. Here the announcement:
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-936-1 May 06, 2010
dvipng vulnerability
CVE-2010-0829
==========================
==========================
=========
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 9.04
Ubuntu 9.10
Ubuntu 10.04 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 9.04:
dvipng 1.11-1ubuntu0.9.04.1
Ubuntu 9.10:
dvipng 1.11-1ubuntu0.9.10.1
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
dvipng 1.12-3ubuntu0.1
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
Details follow:
Dan Rosenberg discovered that dvipng incorrectly handled certain malformed
dvi files. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a
specially crafted dvi file, an attacker could cause a denial of service via
application crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges
of the user invoking the program.
