Debian DLA-980-1 : ming security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 100645

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was found that ming, a library to parse and generate SWF (Flash) files, is susceptible to an integer overflow that would lead into out of bound memory writes via a maliciously crafted file.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1:0.4.4-1.1+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your ming packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
