Debian DLA-1783-1 : atftp security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 124778

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Denis Andzakovic discovered two vulnerabilities in atftp, the advanced TFTP server which could result in denial of service by sending malformed packets.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 0.7.git20120829-1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your atftp 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 atftp, and atftpd packages.
