Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'lcms' package(s) announced via the DSA-1684-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Two vulnerabilities have been found in lcms, a library and set of commandline utilities for image color management. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2008-5316

Inadequate enforcement of fixed-length buffer limits allows an attacker to overflow a buffer on the stack, potentially enabling the execution of arbitrary code when a maliciously-crafted image is opened.

CVS-2008-5317

An integer sign error in reading image gamma data could allow an attacker to cause an under-sized buffer to be allocated for subsequent image data, with unknown consequences potentially including the execution of arbitrary code if a maliciously-crafted image is opened.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 1.15-1.1+etch1.

For the upcoming stable distribution (lenny), and the unstable distribution (sid), these problems are fixed in version 1.17.dfsg-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your lcms packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'lcms' package(s) on Debian 4.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
