It was discovered that there was an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in libextractor, a library to extract meta-data from files of arbitrary type.

For Debian 8 ‘Jessie’, this issue has been fixed in libextractor version 1:1.3-2+deb8u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your libextractor 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.
