Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1417-1
April 05, 2012

libpng vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 11.10
- Ubuntu 11.04
- Ubuntu 10.10
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

Summary:

libpng could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened a
specially crafted file.

Software Description:
- libpng: PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file library

Details:

It was discovered that libpng incorrectly handled certain memory
operations. If a user or automated system using libpng were tricked into
opening a specially crafted image, an attacker could exploit this to cause
a denial of service or execute code with the privileges of the user
invoking the program.

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 11.10:
libpng12-0 1.2.46-3ubuntu1.3

Ubuntu 11.04:
libpng12-0 1.2.44-1ubuntu3.4

Ubuntu 10.10:
libpng12-0 1.2.44-1ubuntu0.4

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
libpng12-0 1.2.42-1ubuntu2.5

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
libpng12-0 1.2.15~beta5-3ubuntu0.7

After a standard system update you need to restart your session to make
all the necessary changes.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1418-1
April 05, 2012

gnutls13, gnutls26 vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 11.10
- Ubuntu 11.04
- Ubuntu 10.10
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

Summary:

The GnuTLS library could be made to crash under certain conditions.

Software Description:
- gnutls26: the GNU TLS library - commandline utilities
- gnutls13: the GNU TLS library - commandline utilities

Details:

Alban Crequy discovered that the GnuTLS library incorrectly checked array
bounds when copying TLS session data. A remote attacker could crash a client
application, leading to a denial of service, as the client application prepared
for TLS session resumption. (CVE-2011-4128)

Matthew Hall discovered that the GnuTLS library incorrectly handled TLS
records. A remote attacker could crash client and server applications, leading
to a denial of service, by sending a crafted TLS record. (CVE-2012-1573)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 11.10:
libgnutls26 2.10.5-1ubuntu3.1

Ubuntu 11.04:
libgnutls26 2.8.6-1ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 10.10:
libgnutls26 2.8.6-1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
libgnutls26 2.8.5-2ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
libgnutls13 2.0.4-1ubuntu2.7

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
