Debian DLA-1340-1 : sam2p security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 108901

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Multiple invalid frees and buffer-overflow vulnerabilities were discovered in sam2p, a utility to convert raster images and other image formats, that may lead to a denial of service (application crash) or unspecified other impact.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.49.1-1+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your sam2p 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 sam2p package.
