Debian DLA-1848-1 : libspring-security-2.0-java security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 126605

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Spring Security support plain text passwords using PlaintextPasswordEncoder. If an application using an affected version of Spring Security is leveraging PlaintextPasswordEncoder and a user has a null encoded password, a malicious user (or attacker) can authenticate using a password of 'null'.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 2.0.7.RELEASE-3+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libspring-security-2.0-java 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.
