Debian DLA-2256-1 : libtirpc security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 137859

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that libtiprc, a transport-independent RPC library, could be used for a denial of service or possibly unspecified other impact by a stack-based buffer overflow due to a flood of crafted ICMP and UDP packets.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.5-1+deb8u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your libtirpc 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 libtirpc-dev, and libtirpc1 packages.
