Debian DLA-450-1 : gdk-pixbuf security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 90807

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

A heap-based buffer overflow has been discovered in gdk-pixbuf, a library for image loading and saving facilities, fast scaling and compositing of pixbufs, that allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted BMP file.

This update also fixes an incomplete patch for CVE-2015-7674.

CVE-2015-7552 Heap-based buffer overflow in the gdk_pixbuf_flip function in gdk-pixbuf-scale.c in gdk-pixbuf allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted BMP file.

CVE-2015-7674 Integer overflow in the pixops_scale_nearest function in pixops/pixops.c in gdk-pixbuf before 2.32.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted GIF image file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2.26.1-1+deb7u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your gdk-pixbuf 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.
