texinfo vulnerability
CVE-2006-4810
===========================================================
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 5.10
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10
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:
texinfo 4.7-2.2ubuntu2.2
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
texinfo 4.8-4ubuntu0.1
Ubuntu 6.10:
texinfo 4.8.dfsg.1-1ubuntu0.1
In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
Details follow:
Miloslav Trmac discovered a buffer overflow in texinfo's index
processor. If a user is tricked into processing a .texi file with
texindex, this could lead to arbitrary code execution with user
privileges.
