Debian 10260 Published by

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



DLA 2185-1: eog security update



Package : eog
Version : 3.14.1-1+deb8u1
CVE ID : CVE-2016-6855

It was discovered that eog (Eye of GNOME) incorrectly handled certain
invalid UTF-8 strings. If a user were tricked into opening a
specially-crafted image, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause
Eye of GNOME to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly
execute arbitrary code.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
3.14.1-1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your eog packages.
