Debian DLA-2169-1 : libmtp security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 135205

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

libmtp is a library for communicating with MTP aware devices. The Media Transfer Protocol (commonly referred to as MTP) is a devised set of custom extensions to support the transfer of music files on USB digital audio players and movie files on USB portable media players.

CVE-2017-9831

An integer overflow vulnerability in the ptp_unpack_EOS_CustomFuncEx function of the ptp-pack.c file allows attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds memory access) or maybe remote code execution by inserting a mobile device into a personal computer through a USB cable.

CVE-2017-9832

An integer overflow vulnerability in ptp-pack.c (ptp_unpack_OPL function) allows attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds memory access) or maybe remote code execution by inserting a mobile device into a personal computer through a USB cable.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.8-1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libmtp 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.
