    ===========================================================
    Ubuntu Security Notice USN-128-1 May 17, 2005
    nasm vulnerability
    CAN-2005-1194
    ===========================================================

    A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

    Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)
    Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)

    The following packages are affected:

    nasm

    The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
    version 0.98.38-1ubuntu0.2 (for Ubuntu 4.10), or 0.98.38-1.1ubuntu0.1
    (for Ubuntu 5.04). In general, a standard system upgrade is
    sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

    Details follow:

    Josh Bressers discovered a buffer overflow in the ieee_putascii()
    function of nasm. If an attacker tricked a user into assembling a
    malicious source file, they could exploit this to execute arbitrary
    code with the privileges of the user that runs nasm.
