{"id":"MGASA-2016-0286","summary":"Updated mupdf packages fix security vulnerability","details":"A flaw was discovered in the pdf_load_mesh_params() function allowing\nout-of-bounds write access to memory locations. With carefully crafted\ninput, that could trigger a heap overflow, resulting in application\ncrash or possibly having other unspecified impact (CVE-2016-6525).\n\nAlso, mupdf already contained the X11 viewer /usr/bin/mupdf-x11 but no\nmupdf binary to match the man page instructions. A symlink to mupdf-x11\nnow provides this (mga#19105).\n","modified":"2026-04-16T06:22:43.123303167Z","published":"2016-08-31T15:32:33Z","upstream":["CVE-2016-6525"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2016-0286.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19126"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2016-6525"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://lwn.net/Alerts/696674/"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19105"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"mupdf","ecosystem":"Mageia:5","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/mupdf?arch=source&distro=mageia-5"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.5-4.4.mga5"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2016-0286.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","credits":[{"name":"Mageia","contact":["https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packages_Security_Team"],"type":"COORDINATOR"}]}
