Ubuntu 5.04 : kdelibs vulnerability (USN-114-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 20501

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

Bruno Rohee discovered a buffer overflow in the PCX decoder of kimgio.
If an attacker tricked a user into loading a malicious PCX image with a KDE application, he could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user opening the image.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
