 Package : libgsf CVE ID : CVE-2024-36474 CVE-2024-42415 Debian Bug : 1084056

 Integer overflows flaws were discovered in the Compound Document Binary File format parser of libgsf, the GNOME Project G Structured File Library, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code if a specially crafted file is processed.

 For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 1.14.50-1+deb12u1.

 We recommend that you upgrade your libgsf packages.

 For the detailed security status of libgsf please refer to its security tracker page at:
