Debian DSA-5299-1 : openexr - security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 168623

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5299 advisory.

 Multiple security vulnerabilities have been found in OpenEXR, command-line tools and a library for the OpenEXR image format. Buffer overflows or out-of-bound reads could lead to a denial of service (application crash) if a malformed image file is processed. For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 2.5.4-2+deb11u1. We recommend that you upgrade your openexr packages.
 For the detailed security status of openexr please refer to its security tracker page at:
 https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/openexr

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

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 openexr packages.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 2.5.4-2+deb11u1.
