Ubuntu Security Notice USN-366-1 October 18, 2006
binutils vulnerability
CVE-2005-4808
===========================================================
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 5.10
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 5.10:
binutils 2.16.1-2ubuntu6.3
binutils-static 2.16.1-2ubuntu6.3
In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
Details follow:
A buffer overflow was discovered in gas (the GNU assembler). By
tricking an user or automated system (like a compile farm) into
assembling a specially crafted source file with gcc or gas, this could
be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges.
