Debian DSA-3551-1 : fuseiso - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 90551

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

It was discovered that fuseiso, a user-space implementation of the ISO 9660 file system based on FUSE, contains several vulnerabilities.

- CVE-2015-8836 A stack-based buffer overflow may allow attackers who can trick a user into mounting a crafted ISO 9660 file system to cause a denial of service (crash), or, potentially, execute arbitrary code.

- CVE-2015-8837 An integer overflow leads to a heap-based buffer overflow, which allows an attacker (who can trick a user into mounting a crafted ISO 9660 file system) to cause a denial of service (crash), or, potentially, execute arbitrary code.

Solution

Upgrade the fuseiso packages.

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 20070708-3+deb7u1.

The stable distribution (jessie) does not contain fuseiso packages.
