high Nessus Plugin ID 96570

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Brief introduction

CVE-2017-5208

Choongwoo Han reported[0] an exploitable crash in wrestool from icoutils. The command line tools is e.g. used in KDE's metadataparsing.

CVE-2017-5331

It turned out that the correction for CVE-2017-5208 was not enough so an additional correction was needed.

CVE-2017-5332

But as I see it there are still combinations of the arguments which make the test succeed even though the the memory block identified by offset size is not fully inside memory total_size.

CVE-2017-5333

The memory check was not stringent enough on 64 bit systems.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.29.1-5deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your icoutils 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 icoutils package.
