Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Jakub Wilk found a vulnerability in the Type 1 font manipulation programs, t1utils :

CVE-2015-3905

Buffer overflow in the set_cs_start function in t1disasm.c in t1utils before 1.39 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted font file.

For Debian 6 'Squeeze', this issue has been fixed in t1utils version 1.36-1+deb6u1.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected t1utils package.
