Several vulnerabilities were discovered in libevent, an asynchronous event notification library. They would lead to Denial Of Service via application crash, or remote code execution.

For Debian 7 ‘Wheezy’, these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.19-stable-3+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libevent 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.
