Debian DLA-2083-1 : hiredis security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 133321

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there were a large number of NULL pointer dereferences due to unchecked return values from malloc and friends in hiredis, a minimalistic C client library.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these issue have been fixed in hiredis version 0.11.0-4+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your hiredis 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.
