Debian Security Advisory 3644-1

Debian Security Advisory 3644-1
Posted Aug 8, 2016
Authored by Debian | Site debian.org

Debian Linux Security Advisory 3644-1 - Tobias Stoeckmann discovered that cache files are insufficiently validated in fontconfig, a generic font configuration library. An attacker can trigger arbitrary free() calls, which in turn allows double free attacks and therefore arbitrary code execution. In combination with setuid binaries using crafted cache files, this could allow privilege escalation.

Package : fontconfig
CVE ID : CVE-2016-5384
Debian Bug : 833570

Tobias Stoeckmann discovered that cache files are insufficiently
validated in fontconfig, a generic font configuration library. An
attacker can trigger arbitrary free() calls, which in turn allows double
free attacks and therefore arbitrary code execution. In combination with
setuid binaries using crafted cache files, this could allow privilege
escalation.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.11.0-6.3+deb8u1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.11.0-6.5.

We recommend that you upgrade your fontconfig packages.
