Debian DLA-2612-1 : leptonlib security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 148270

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Several issues have been found by ClusterFuzz in leptonlib, an image processing library.

All issues are related to heap-based buffer over-read in several functions or a denial of service (application crash) with crafted data.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1.74.1-1+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your leptonlib packages.

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

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.
