Package : vcftools
Version : 0.1.12+dfsg-1+deb8u1
CVE ID : CVE-2018-11099 CVE-2018-11129 CVE-2018-11130
Webin security lab - dbapp security Ltd found three issues in vcftools, a
collection of tools to work with VCF files. Different functions in
header.cpp are vulnerable to denial of services due to use-after-free
issues or information disclosure due to heap-based buffer over-read.
For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
0.1.12+dfsg-1+deb8u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your vcftools packages.
