It was discovered that there were several vulnerabilities in libsmpack, a library used to handle Microsoft compression formats.
A remote attacker could craft malicious .CAB, .CHM or .KWAJ files and use these flaws to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute arbitrary code.
For Debian 8 ‘Jessie’, this issue has been fixed in libmspack version 0.5-1+deb8u2.
We recommend that you upgrade your libmspack packages.
NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
