Hi,

the following vulnerability was published for darktable.

CVE-2015-3885[0]:
| Integer overflow in the ljpeg_start function in dcraw 7.00 and earlier
| allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a
| crafted image, which triggers a buffer overflow, related to the len
| variable.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.

For further information see:

This does not seem to warrant a DSA, but it would be nice to have it
fixed in jessie and wheezy as well. Could you contact the stable
release managers to have an update through a wheezy- and
jessie-proposed-update?

Regards,
Salvatore
