Debian DLA-1686-1 : freedink-dfarc security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 122404

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Sylvain Beucler and Dan Walma discovered several directory traversal issues in DFArc, a frontend and extensions manager for the Dink Smallwood game, allowing an attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the user's system.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 3.12-1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your freedink-dfarc 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 freedink-dfarc, and freedink-dfarc-dbg packages.
