========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1480-1 June 18, 2012 raptor vulnerability ========================================================================== 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 Summary: Applications using Raptor could be made to expose sensitive information or run programs as your login if they opened a specially crafted file. Software Description: - raptor: Raptor RDF parser and serializer library Details: Timothy D. Morgan discovered that Raptor would unconditionally load XML external entities. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted document in an application linked against Raptor, an attacker could possibly obtain access to arbitrary files on the user's system or potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: libraptor1 1.4.21-7ubuntu0.1 Ubuntu 11.10: libraptor1 1.4.21-5ubuntu0.1 Ubuntu 11.04: libraptor1 1.4.21-2ubuntu0.1 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: libraptor1 1.4.21-1ubuntu1.1 After a standard system update you need to restart any applications which use Raptor, such as OpenOffice.org or LibreOffice, to make all the necessary changes.
