Debian DLA-1047-1 : supervisor security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 102085

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

A vulnerability has been found in supervisor, a system for controlling process state, where an authenticated client can send a malicious XML-RPC request to supervisord that will run arbitrary shell commands on the server. The commands will be run as the same user as supervisord.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 3.0a8-1.1+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your supervisor 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 supervisor package.
