Debian DLA-2159-1 : okular security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 134916

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Mickael Karatekin from Sysdream Labs discovered that the Okular document viewer allows code execution via an action link in a PDF document.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 4:4.14.2-2+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your okular 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.
