Debian DLA-844-1 : libquicktime security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 97441

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Marco 'nemux' Romano discovered that an integer overflow in the quicktime_read_pascal function in libquicktime 1.2.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have other unspecified impact via a crafted hdlr MP4 atom.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2:1.2.4-3+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libquicktime 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.
