Debian DLA-1467-1 : ruby-zip security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 111764

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was found that rubyzip, a Ruby module for reading and writing zip files, contained a Directory Traversal vulnerability that can be exploited to write arbitrary files to the filesystem.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.6-1+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your ruby-zip 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 ruby-zip package.
