Debian DLA-250-1 : libclamunrar security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 84296

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Upstream published version 0.98.5. This update updates sqeeze-lts to the latest upstream release in line with the approach used for other Debian releases.

This update corrects a double-free error that existed within the 'unrar_extract_next_prepare()' function (libclamunrar_iface/unrar_iface.c) when parsing a RAR file. While no CVE was assigned, this issue does have potential security implications.

If you use libclamunrar, we strongly recommend that you upgrade to this version.

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 libclamunrar6 package.
