Debian DLA-1036-1 : gsoap security update (Devil's Ivy)

high Nessus Plugin ID 101935

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

A vulnerability was discovered in gsoap, a library for the development of SOAP web services and clients, that may be exposed with a large and specific XML message over 2 GB in size. After receiving this 2 GB message, a buffer overflow can cause an open unsecured server to crash. Clients communicating with HTTPS with trusted servers are not affected.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2.8.7-2+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your gsoap 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 packages.
