Several vulnerabilities were discovered in libextractor, a library to
extract arbitrary meta-data from files, which may lead to denial of
service or the execution of arbitrary code if a specially crafted file
is opened.

For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in
version 1:1.3-4+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libextractor packages.
