Debian 8: DLA-1882-1 Atril Critical Advisory for Command Injection

debian lts
Calendar Grey August 13, 2019
Dist Debian Esm H88
The Atril software has been upgraded to address severe problems such as command injection and buffer overflow threats.
A few issues were found in Atril, the MATE document viewer

Summary

When printing from DVI to PDF, the dvipdfm tool was called without
properly sanitizing the filename, which could lead to a command
injection attack via the filename.

CVE-2019-11459

The tiff_document_render() and tiff_document_get_thumbnail() did
not check the status of TIFFReadRGBAImageOriented(), leading to
uninitialized memory access if that funcion fails.

CVE-2019-1010006

Some buffer overflow checks were not properly done, leading to
application crash or possibly arbitrary code execution when
opening maliciously crafted files.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
1.8.1+dfsg1-4+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your atril packages.
