medium Nessus Plugin ID 104679

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Ming :

CVE-2017-9988

NULL pointer dereference in the readEncUInt30 function (util/read.c) in Ming <= 0.4.8, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file.

CVE-2017-9989

NULL pointer dereference in the outputABC_STRING_INFO function (util/outputtxt.c) in Ming <= 0.4.8, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file.

CVE-2017-11733

NULL pointer dereference in the stackswap function (util/decompile.c) in Ming <= 0.4.8, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1:0.4.4-1.1+deb7u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your ming 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
