Package : gdal Version : 2.4.0+dfsg-1+deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2019-17545 CVE-2021-45943

Two issues were found in GDAL, a geospatial library, that could lead to denial of service via application crash or possibly the execution of arbitrary code if maliciously crafted data was parsed.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 2.4.0+dfsg-1+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your gdal packages.

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the gdal-bin packages.
