Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The OpenSLP package had two open security issues :

CVE-2017-17833

OpenSLP releases in the 1.0.2 and 1.1.0 code streams have a heap-related memory corruption issue which may manifest itself as a denial of service or a remote code-execution vulnerability.

CVE-2019-5544

OpenSLP as used in ESXi and the Horizon DaaS appliances has a heap overwrite issue. VMware has evaluated the severity of this issue to be in the critical severity range.
