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

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 474817

Description

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

 - GNU Aspell contains an integer truncation vulnerability in the WritableDict::add() function in
 modules/speller/default/writable.cpp. When loading a personal wordlist, the word length is stored as a
 single byte, causing truncation for words whose length is a multiple of 256. This leads to heap
 corruption. An attacker can exploit this by convincing a user to run aspell with a crafted personal
 wordlist containing such a word, resulting in denial of service. This issue was fixed in commit
 782ce94e4dc71eaec4ee1bd945eb3b9c47c5387d which will be released in version 0.60.8.3. (CVE-2026-75820)

Solution

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