Debian DLA-2120-1 : rake security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 134093

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

There is an OS command injection vulnerability in Rake (a ruby make-like utility) < 12.3.3 in Rake::FileList when supplying a filename that begins with the pipe character `|`.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 10.3.2-2+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your rake 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 rake package.
