Debian DLA-1882-1 : atril security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 127864

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

A few issues were found in Atril, the MATE document viewer.

CVE-2017-1000159

When printing from DVI to PDF, the dvipdfm tool was called without properly sanitizing the filename, which could lead to a command injection attack via the filename.

CVE-2019-11459

The tiff_document_render() and tiff_document_get_thumbnail() did not check the status of TIFFReadRGBAImageOriented(), leading to uninitialized memory access if that funcion fails.

CVE-2019-1010006

Some buffer overflow checks were not properly done, leading to application crash or possibly arbitrary code execution when opening maliciously crafted files.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1.8.1+dfsg1-4+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your atril 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.
