Debian DSA-5346-1 : libde265 - security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 171376

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-5346 advisory.

Multiple security issues were discovered in libde265, an implementation of the H.265 video codec which may result in denial of service and potentially the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed media file is processed. For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.11-0+deb11u1. We recommend that you upgrade your libde265 packages. For the detailed security status of libde265 please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security- tracker.debian.org/tracker/libde265

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 libde265 packages.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.11-0+deb11u1.
