Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

An issue has been found in influxdb, a scalable datastore for metrics, events, and real-time analytics. By using a JWT token with an empty shared secret, one is able to bypass authentication in services/httpd/handler.go.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.1+dfsg1-4+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your influxdb packages.
