Debian DLA-934-1 : radicale security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 100069

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Radicale before 1.1.2 and 2.x before 2.0.0rc2 is prone to timing oracles and simple brute-force attacks when using the htpasswd authentication method.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.7-1.1+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your radicale packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected python-radicale, and radicale packages.
