Debian DLA-688-1 : cairo security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 94410

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there was a possible DoS attack in Cairo, a multi-platform library providing vector-based rendering. An SVG could generate invalid pointers from a _cairo_image_surface in write_png.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this issue has been fixed in cairo version 1.12.2-3+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your cairo 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.
