Debian DLA-2054-1 : jhead security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 132591

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Multiple buffer overflows have been fixed in jhead, a program to manipulate the non-image part of Exif compliant JPEG files.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1:2.97-1+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your jhead 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 jhead package.
