Debian DLA-1826-1 : glib2.0 security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 126011

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that GLib does not properly restrict some file permissions while a copy operation is in progress; instead, default permissions are used.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 2.42.1-1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your glib2.0 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.
