Debian DLA-1720-1 : liblivemedia security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 122932

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that liblivemedia, the LIVE555 RTSP server library, is vulnerable to an invalid memory access when processing the Authorization header field. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to possibly trigger code execution or denial of service (OOB access and application crash) via a crafted HTTP header.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 2014.01.13-1+deb8u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your liblivemedia 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.
