Debian DLA-769-1 : shutter security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 96185

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The feature-rich screenshot program shutter uses the system() call in an unsafe way. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary programs via crafted directory names.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this problem has been fixed in version 0.88.3-1+deb7u1.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem will be fixed in version 0.92-0.1+deb8u1, part of the upcoming point release

For Debian 9 'Stretch' and 'Sid', this problem has been fixed in version 0.93.1-1

We recommend that you upgrade your shutter 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 shutter package.
