    Package : flex
    CVE ID : CVE-2016-6354
    Debian Bug : 832768

    Alexander Sulfrian discovered a buffer overflow in the
    yy_get_next_buffer() function generated by Flex, which may result in
    denial of service and potentially the execution of code if operating on
    data from untrusted sources.

    Affected applications need to be rebuild. bogofilter will be rebuild
    against the updated flex in a followup update. Further affected
    applications should be reported at the bug referenced above.

    For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.5.39-8+deb8u1.

    For the testing distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed
    in version 2.6.1-1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.6.1-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your flex packages.
