Debian DSA-4756-1 : lilypond - security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 140062

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Faidon Liambotis discovered that Lilypond, a program for typesetting sheet music, did not restrict the inclusion of Postscript and SVG commands when operating in safe mode, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code when rendering a typesheet file with embedded Postscript code.

Solution

Upgrade the lilypond packages.

For the stable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in version 2.19.81+really-2.18.2-13+deb10u1.
