Version : 1.42.12-2+deb8u2
CVE ID : CVE-2019-5188

An issue has been found in e2fsprogs, a package that contains
ext2/ext3/ext4 file system utilities.
A specially crafted ext4 directory can cause an out-of-bounds write on the
stack, resulting in code execution. An attacker can corrupt a partition to
