Debian DLA-803-1 : lcms2 security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 96818

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

An out of bounds read was found in lcms2, which can lead to heap memory leak or denial of service via a specially crafted ICC profile.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2.2+git20110628-2.2+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your lcms2 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.
