Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.69165 |
Category: | Red Hat Local Security Checks |
Title: | RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2010:0999 |
Summary: | NOSUMMARY |
Description: | Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2010:0999. The libvpx packages provide the VP8 SDK, which allows the encoding and decoding of the VP8 video codec, commonly used with the WebM multimedia container file format. An integer overflow flaw, leading to arbitrary memory writes, was found in libvpx. An attacker could create a specially-crafted video encoded using the VP8 codec that, when played by a victim with an application using libvpx (such as Totem), would cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-4203) All users of libvpx are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the update, all applications using libvpx must be restarted for the changes to take effect. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010-0999.html Risk factor : Critical CVSS Score: 9.3 |
