libical allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) and possibly read heap memory via a crafted ics file.

According to the versions of the libical packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - libical allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (use-after-free) and possibly read heap memory     via a crafted ics file.(CVE-2016-9584)

  - The icaltime_from_string function in libical 0.47 and     1.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (out-of-bounds heap read) via a crafted string     to the icalparser_parse_string function.(CVE-2016-5827)

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12-SP2:Update update project.

It was discovered that there was a use-after-free vulnerability in the libical iCalendar library. Remote attackers could cause a denial of service and possibly read heap memory via a specially crafted .ICS file.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this issue has been fixed in libical version 0.48-2+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libical packages.
