Debian DSA-2844-1 : djvulibre - arbitrary code execution

high Nessus Plugin ID 71980

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

It was discovered that djvulibre, the Open Source DjVu implementation project, can be crashed or possibly make it execute arbitrary code when processing a specially crafted djvu file.

Solution

Upgrade the djvulibre packages.

For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 3.5.23-3+squeeze1.

This problem has been fixed before the release of the stable distribution (wheezy), therefore it is not affected.
