Detail
| A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 11.10 - Ubuntu 11.04 - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Summary: Applications using libgc could be made to crash or run arbitrary programs as your login. Software Description: - libgc: Boehm-Demers-Weiser garbage collecting storage allocator library Details: It was discovered that multiple integer overflows existed in the malloc and calloc implementations in the Boehm-Demers-Weiser garbage collecting memory allocator (libgc). These could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: Ubuntu 11.10: Ubuntu 11.04: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
