NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libplist package and not the libplist package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the parse_unicode_node function in bplist.c in libimobiledevice libplist 1.12 allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) and possibly code execution via a crafted plist file.
