Debian DLA-1243-1 : xbmc security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 106075

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The Check Point Research Team discovered that the XBMC media center allows arbitrary file write when a malicious subtitle file is downloaded in zip format. This update requires the new dependency libboost-regex1.49.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2:11.0~git20120510.82388d5-1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your xbmc 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.
