Debian DLA-2031-1 : freeimage security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 131964

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was found that freeimage, a graphics library, was affected by the following two security issues :

CVE-2019-12211

Heap buffer overflow caused by invalid memcpy in PluginTIFF. This flaw might be leveraged by remote attackers to trigger denial of service or any other unspecified impact via crafted TIFF data.

CVE-2019-12213

Stack exhaustion caused by unwanted recursion in PluginTIFF. This flaw might be leveraged by remote attackers to trigger denial of service via crafted TIFF data.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 3.15.4-4.2+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your freeimage 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.
