Echo: aspell: security update to 0.60.8.1-4+e1

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 474818

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - GNU Aspell prezip-bin contains a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the decompressor in
 prog/prezip.c. The decompressor does not properly check buffer space, so a crafted compressed file can
 cause out-of-bounds read and write operations on the heap. An attacker who convinces a user to process a
 malicious compressed file with prezip-bin can trigger memory corruption, leading to a processs crash. This
 issue was fixed in commit 15b188437f9e0192d4ac4472ad66a4e2f62a782f which will be released in version
 0.60.8.3. (CVE-2026-75818)

Solution

Update the aspell library and its related packages to version 0.60.8.1-4+e1 or later.
