libav vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 11.04
Summary:
Libav could be made to run programs as your login if it opened a specially
crafted file.
Software Description:
- libav: Multimedia player, server, encoder and transcoder
Details:
It was discovered that Libav incorrectly handled certain malformed ogg
files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted ogg 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.
(CVE-2011-1196)
It was discovered that Libav incorrectly handled certain malformed AMV
files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted AMV 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.
(CVE-2011-1931)
Emmanouel Kellinis discovered that Libav incorrectly handled certain
malformed CAVS files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted CAVS
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. (CVE-2011-3362)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 11.04:
