Related Vulnerabilities: CVE-2015-8836   CVE-2015-8837  

It was discovered that fuseiso, a user-space implementation of the ISO 9660 file system based on FUSE, contains several vulnerabilities. CVE-2015-8836 A stack-based buffer overflow may allow attackers who can trick a user into mounting a crafted ISO 9660 file system to cause a denial of service (crash), or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. CVE-2015-8837 An integer overflow leads to a heap-based buffer overflow, which allows an attacker (who can trick a user into mounting a crafted ISO 9660 file system) to cause a denial of service (crash), or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 20070708-3+deb7u1. The stable distribution (jessie) does not contain fuseiso packages. For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 20070708-3.2. We recommend that you upgrade your fuseiso packages.
