Debian DLA-2219-1 : feh security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 136835

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Tobias Stoeckmann discovered that it was possible to trigger an out-of-boundary heap write with the image viewer feh while receiving an IPC message.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 2.12-1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your feh 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 feh package.
