Detail

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)

The following packages are affected:

nbd-server

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 1:2.7.4-1ubuntu0.1. In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

Kurt Fitzner discovered that the NBD (network block device) server did not correctly verify the maximum size of request packets. By sending specially crafted large request packets, a remote attacker who is allowed to access the server could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.

73463 Network Block Device nbd-server.c mainloop Function Remote Overflow

21848 Network Block Device (NBD) Server Request Handling Remote Overflow

A remote overflow exists in Network Block Device (NBD). The application fails to perform proper bounds checking resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, a remote attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity.
