It was discovered that djvulibre, the Open Source DjVu implementation project, can be crashed or possibly make it execute arbitrary code when processing a specially crafted djvu file.

For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 3.5.23-3+squeeze1. This problem has been fixed before the release of the stable distribution (wheezy), therefore it is not affected. We recommend that you upgrade your djvulibre packages.
