A libgsf security update has been released for Debian GNU/Linux 8 LTS.

DLA 2183-1: libgsf security update

Package : libgsf
Version : 1.14.30-2+deb8u1
CVE ID : CVE-2016-9888

It was discovered that there was a null pointer deference exploit in
libgsf, a I/O abstraction library for GNOME.

An error within the "tar_directory_for_file()" function could be exploited
to trigger a null pointer dereference and subsequently cause a crash via a
crafted TAR file.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
1.14.30-2+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libgsf packages.
