Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Quang Nguyen discovered an integer overflow in the Little CMS 2 colour management library, which could result in denial of service and potentially the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed IT8 calibration file is processed.

Solution

Upgrade the lcms2 packages.

For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 2.8-4+deb9u1.
