medium Nessus Plugin ID 88864

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Two buffer overflows were discovered in python-imaging, a Python library for loading and manipulating image files, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2016-0775 Buffer overflow in FliDecode.c

The second buffer overflow was in PcdDecode.c. A CVE identifier has not been assigned yet.

For Debian 6 'Squeeze', these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.7-2+deb6u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-imaging packages.

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.
