Debian DLA-2321-1 : firmware-nonfree new upstream version

high Nessus Plugin ID 139519

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The firmware-nonfree package has been updated to include additional firmware that may be requested by some drivers in Linux 4.19.

Along with additional kernel packages that will be announced later, this will provide a supported upgrade path for systems that currently use kernel and firmware packages from the 'stretch-backports' suite.

This update is not known to fix any security issues.

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.
