Debian DLA-1708-1 : zabbix security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 122762

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Several security vulnerabilities were discovered in Zabbix, a server/client network monitoring solution.

CVE-2016-10742

Zabbix allowed remote attackers to redirect to external links by misusing the request parameter.

CVE-2017-2826

An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the iConfig proxy request of Zabbix server. A specially crafted iConfig proxy request can cause the Zabbix server to send the configuration information of any Zabbix proxy, resulting in information disclosure. An attacker can make requests from an active Zabbix proxy to trigger this vulnerability.

This update also includes several other bug fixes and improvements.
For more information please refer to the upstream changelog file.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1:2.2.23+dfsg-0+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your zabbix 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.
