high Nessus Plugin ID 140053

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

An issue has been found in ndpi, an extensible deep packet inspection library. The Oracle protocol dissector contains an heap-based buffer over-read, which could crash the application that uses this library and may result in denial of service.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 1.8-1+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ndpi packages.

For the detailed security status of ndpi please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/ndpi

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 libndpi-bin, libndpi-dev, and libndpi4 packages.
