Package        : libgsf
Version        : 1.14.30-2+deb8u1
CVE ID         : CVE-2016-9888


It was discovered that there was a null pointer deference exploit in 
libgsf, a I/O abstraction library for GNOME.

An error within the "tar_directory_for_file()" function could be exploited 
to trigger a null pointer dereference and subsequently cause a crash via a 
crafted TAR file.


For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
1.14.30-2+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libgsf packages.
