Debian DLA-2421-1 : cimg security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 142159

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Several issues have been found in cimg, a powerful image processing library.

CVE-2019-1010174 is related to a missing string sanitization on URLs, which might result in a command injection when loading a special crafted image.

The other CVEs are about heap-based buffer over-reads or double frees when loading a crafted image.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1.7.9+dfsg-1+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your cimg packages.

For the detailed security status of cimg please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/cimg

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 cimg-dev, cimg-doc, and cimg-examples packages.
