Debian DLA-1184-1 : optipng security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 104721

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

An integer overflow vulnerability was found in optipng, an advanced PNG optimizer that also recognizes other external file formats. This may lead to arbitrary code execution when a maliciously crafted TIFF file is processed.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.6.4-1+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your optipng 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 optipng package.
