It was discovered that libXcursor, a X cursor management library, is prone to several heap overflows when parsing malicious files. An attacker can take advantage of these flaws for arbitrary code execution, if a user is tricked into processing a specially crafted cursor file. For the oldstable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 1:1.1.14-1+deb8u1. For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in version 1:1.1.14-1+deb9u1. We recommend that you upgrade your libxcursor packages.
