Debian DLA-874-1 : jbig2dec security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 99002

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Multiple security issues have been found in the JBIG2 decoder library, which may lead to lead to denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed image file (usually embedded in a PDF document) is opened.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.13-4~deb7u1.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 0.13-4~deb8u1.

For the upcoming stable distribution (stretch) and for the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.13-4.

We recommend that you upgrade your jbig2dec 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.
