Ubuntu 14.04 LTS : libwmf vulnerabilities (USN-2670-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 84635

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Fernando Munoz and Stefan Cornelius discovered that libwmf incorrectly handled certain malformed images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a crafted image file, an attacker could cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code with privileges of the user invoking the program.

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.
