Subject: [USN-648-1] nasm vulnerability

===========================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-648-1         September 30, 2008
nasm vulnerability
CVE-2008-2719
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

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 8.04 LTS:
  nasm                            0.99.06-2ubuntu0.1

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.

Details follow:

Philipp Thomas discovered that the ppscan function of nasm contained
an off-by-one error.  If a user or automated system were tricked into
assembling a specially crafted ASM file, a remote attacker could execute
arbitrary commands with user privileges.


Updated packages for Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
