Debian DLA-501-1 : gdk-pixbuf security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 91445

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that the original fix for CVE-2015-7552 (DLA-450-1) was incomplete.

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

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2.26.1-1+deb7u5.

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.
