Ubuntu 14.04 LTS : JBIG-KIT vulnerability (USN-2190-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 73821

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

Florian Weimer discovered that JBIG-KIT incorrectly handled certain malformed images. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted image, JBIG-KIT could be made to crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

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

Solution

Update the affected jbigkit-bin, libjbig-dev and / or libjbig0 packages.
