Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-979-1 (kdegraphics)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to kdegraphics
announced via advisory USN-979-1.

Details follow:

Stefan Cornelius of Secunia Research discovered a boundary error during
RLE decompression in the TranscribePalmImageToJPEG() function in
generators/plucker/inplug/image.cpp of okular when processing images
embedded in PDB files, which can be exploited to cause a heap-based
buffer overflow. (CVE-2010-2575)

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

Ubuntu 9.04:
okular 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 9.10:
okular 4:4.3.2-0ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
okular 4:4.4.2-0ubuntu1.1

After a standard system update you need to restart any running instances
of okular to make all the necessary changes.
