medium Nessus Plugin ID 27958

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

USN-376-1 provided an update to imlib2 to fix several security vulnerabilities. Unfortunately the update broke JPG file handling in certain situations. This update corrects this problem. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected libimlib2 and / or libimlib2-dev packages.
