Debian DLA-327-1 : freeimage security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 86428

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Multiple integer underflows in PluginPCX.cpp in FreeImage 3.17.0 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via vectors related to the height and width of a window.

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 packages.
