Debian DLA-1656-1 : agg security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 121553

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

A stack overflow vulnerability was discovered in AGG, the AntiGrain Geometry graphical toolkit, that may lead to code execution if a malformed file is processed. Since AGG only provides a static library, the desmume and exactimage packages were rebuilt against the latest security update.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 2.5+dfsg1-9+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your agg 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 libagg-dev package.
