Package : libgsf
Version : 1.14.21-2.1+deb7u1
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 7 "Wheezy", this issue has been fixed in libgsf version
1.14.21-2.1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libgsf packages.

Regards,
