• Ubuntu 7.04
• Ubuntu 6.10
• Ubuntu 6.06

Packages

• libcdio -

Details

Devon Miller discovered that the iso-info and cd-info tools did not
properly perform bounds checking. If a user were tricked into using
these tools with a crafted iso image, an attacker could cause a
denial of service (core dump) and possibly execute arbitrary code.

Update instructions

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 7.10

• libcdio6 - 0.76-1ubuntu2.7.10.1

Ubuntu 7.04

• libcdio6 - 0.76-1ubuntu2.7.04.1

Ubuntu 6.10

• libcdio6 - 0.76-1ubuntu1.6.10.1

Ubuntu 6.06

• libcdio6 - 0.76-1ubuntu1.6.06.1

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