Debian DLA-2289-1 : mupdf security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 138912

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Several issues have been found in mupdf, a lightweight PDF viewer.

The issues could be exploited by crafted PDF files that result in denial of service by heap-based buffer overflows, segmentation faults or out of bound reads.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1.9a+ds1-4+deb9u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your mupdf packages.

For the detailed security status of mupdf please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/mupdf

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 libmupdf-dev, mupdf, and mupdf-tools packages.
