Debian DLA-1713-2 : libsdl1.2 regression update

high Nessus Plugin ID 122828

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The update of libsdl1.2 released as DLA 1713-1 led to a regression, caused by an incomplete fix for CVE-2019-7637. This issue was known upstream and resulted, among others, in windows versions from libsdl1.2 failing to set video mode.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.15-10+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libsdl1.2 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.
