Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 10 / 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5032 advisory.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in djvulibre, a library and set of tools to handle documents in the DjVu format. An attacker could crash document viewers and possibly execute arbitrary code through crafted DjVu files. For the oldstable distribution (buster), these problems have been fixed in version 3.5.27.1-10+deb10u1. For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 3.5.28-2. We recommend that you upgrade your djvulibre packages. For the detailed security status of djvulibre please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security- tracker.debian.org/tracker/djvulibre

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the djvulibre packages.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 3.5.28-2.
