Package : libmtp
Version : 1.1.8-1+deb8u1
CVE ID : CVE-2017-9831 CVE-2017-9832

libmtp is a library for communicating with MTP aware devices. The Media

and movie files on USB portable media players.

CVE-2017-9831

An integer overflow vulnerability in the ptp_unpack_EOS_CustomFuncEx
function of the ptp-pack.c file allows attackers to cause a denial of
service (out-of-bounds memory access) or maybe remote code execution by
inserting a mobile device into a personal computer through a USB cable.

An integer overflow vulnerability in ptp-pack.c (ptp_unpack_OPL function)
allows attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds memory
access) or maybe remote code execution by inserting a mobile device into

For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
