Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there was a NULL pointer dereference issue in the IW44 encoder/decoder within DjVu, a set of compression technologies for high-resolution ssues.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this issue has been fixed in djvulibre version 3.5.25.4-4+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your djvulibre packages.
