    Package : augeas
    CVE ID : CVE-2017-7555
    Debian Bug : 872400

    Han Han of Red Hat discovered that augeas, a configuration editing
    tool, improperly handled some escaped strings. A remote attacker could
    leverage this flaw by sending maliciously crafted strings, thus
    causing an augeas-enabled application to crash or potentially execute
    arbitrary code.

    For the oldstable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed
    in version 1.2.0-0.2+deb8u2.

    For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.8.0-1+deb9u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your augeas packages.
