Debian DLA-1920-1 : golang-go.crypto security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 128780

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

This package ignored the value of the Hash header, which allows an attacker to spoof it. An attacker can not only embed arbitrary Armor Headers, but also prepend arbitrary text to cleartext messages without invalidating the signatures.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 0.0~hg190-1+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your golang-go.crypto 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 golang-go.crypto-dev package.
