Debian DLA-1496-1 : lcms2 security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 117350

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there was an integer overflow vulnerability in the 'Little CMS 2' colour management library. A specially crafted input file could lead to a heap-based buffer overflow.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this issue has been fixed in lcms2 version 2.6-3+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your lcms2 packages.

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 packages.
