The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

This update for libmspack fixes the following issues :

Security issues fixed :

CVE-2019-1010305: Fixed a buffer overflow triggered by a crafted chm file which could have led to information disclosure (bsc#1141680).

CVE-2018-18584: The CAB block input buffer was one byte too small for the maximal Quantum block, leading to an out-of-bounds write.
(bsc#1113038)

CVE-2018-18585: chmd_read_headers accepted a filename that has '\0' as its first or second character (such as the '/\0' name). (bsc#1113039)

Fix off-by-one bounds check on CHM PMGI/PMGL chunk numbers and reject empty filenames.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
