Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in zlib

Software Description: - zlib: Lossless data-compression library

Details:

It was discovered that zlib incorrectly handled pointer arithmetic. An attacker could use this issue to cause zlib to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-9840, CVE-2016-9841)

It was discovered that zlib incorrectly handled vectors involving left shifts of negative integers. An attacker could use this issue to cause zlib to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-9842)

It was discovered that zlib incorrectly handled vectors involving big-endian CRC calculation. An attacker could use this issue to cause zlib to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-9843)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS: lib32z1 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2ubuntu4.3 lib64z1 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2ubuntu4.3 libn32z1 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2ubuntu4.3 libx32z1 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2ubuntu4.3 zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2ubuntu4.3

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
