Category: Ubuntu Local Security Checks Risk factor: High Added: 3 Jul 2009
Synopsis:

These remote packages are missing security patches : - libcgi-fast-perl
- libcompress-raw-zlib-perl - libperl-dev
- libperl5.10
- perl
- perl-base
- perl-debug
- perl-doc
- perl-modules
- perl-suid

Description:

It was discovered that the Compress::Raw::Zlib Perl module incorrectly handled certain zlib compressed streams. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted compressed stream or file, a remote attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of
service.

Solution:

Upgrade to :
- libcgi-fast-perl-5.10.0-19ubuntu1.1 (Ubuntu 9.04) - libcompress-raw-zlib-perl-2.015-1ubuntu0.1 (Ubuntu 9.04) - libperl-dev-5.10.0-19ubuntu1.1 (Ubuntu 9.04) - libperl5.10-5.10.0-19ubuntu1.1 (Ubuntu 9.04) - perl-5.10.0-19ubuntu1.1 (Ubuntu 9.04) - perl-base-5.10.0-19ubuntu1.1 (Ubuntu 9.04) - perl-debug-5.10.0-19ubuntu1.1 (Ubuntu 9.04) - perl-doc-5.10.0-19ubuntu1.1 (Ubuntu 9.04) - perl-modules-5.10.0-19ubuntu1.1 (Ubuntu 9.04) - perl-suid-5.10.0-19ubuntu1.1 (Ubuntu 9.04)
