Debian DLA-2008-1 : nss security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 131293

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

A vulnerability has been discovered in nss, the Mozilla Network Security Service library. An out-of-bounds write can occur when passing an output buffer smaller than the block size to NSC_EncryptUpdate.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 2:3.26-1+debu8u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your nss 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.
