Debian DLA-1849-1 : zeromq3 security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 126528

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Fang-Pen Lin discovered a stack-based buffer-overflow flaw in ZeroMQ, a lightweight messaging kernel library. A remote, unauthenticated client connecting to an application using the libzmq library, running with a socket listening with CURVE encryption/authentication enabled, can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 4.0.5+dfsg-2+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your zeromq3 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 libzmq3, libzmq3-dbg, and libzmq3-dev packages.
