This update for libplist fixes the following security issues :

  - CVE-2017-5545: The main function in plistutil.c in     libimobiledevice libplist allowed attackers to obtain     sensitive information from process memory or cause a     denial of service (buffer over-read) via Apple Property     List data that is too short. (bsc#1021610).

  - CVE-2017-5209: The base64decode function in base64.c in     libimobiledevice libplist through 1.12 allows attackers     to obtain sensitive information from process memory or     cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) via split     encoded Apple Property List data. (bsc#1019531)

  - CVE-2017-5836: A type inconsistency in bplist.c was     fixed. (bsc#1023807)

  - CVE-2017-5835: A memory allocation error leading to DoS     was fixed. (bsc#1023822)

  - CVE-2017-5834: A heap-buffer overflow in parse_dict_node     was fixed (bsc#1023848)

  - CVE-2017-7982: Denial of service (heap-based buffer     over-read and application crash) via a crafted plist     file (bsc#1035312)

  - CVE-2017-6440: A specially crafted plist file could lead     to denial of service (bsc#1029631)

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.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in libplist, a library for reading and writing the Apple binary and XML property lists format. A maliciously crafted plist file could cause an application to crash by triggering a heap-based buffer overflow and memory allocation error in the plist_from_bin function.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.8-1+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libplist packages.
