Package : libgc Version : 1:7.1-9.1+deb7u1 CVE ID : CVE-2016-9427 Debian Bug : 844771 libgc is vulnerable to integer overflows in multiple places. In some cases, when asked to allocate a huge quantity of memory, instead of failing the request, it will return a pointer to a small amount of memory possibly tricking the application into a buffer overwrite. For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version 1:7.1-9.1+deb7u1. We recommend that you upgrade your libgc packages.
