Debian DLA-2274-1 : fwupd security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 138364

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there was a possible signature verification issue in firmware update daemon library 'fwupd' as the return value of gpgme_op_verify_result was not being checked.

For Debian 9 'Stretch', this issue has been fixed in fwupd version 0.7.4-2+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your fwupd 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.
