Debian DLA-2636-1 : pjproject security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 149003

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

An issue has been found in pjproject, a set of libraries for the PJ Project. Due to bad handling of two consecutive crafted answers to an INVITE, the attacker is able to crash the server resulting in a denial of service.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 2.5.5~dfsg-6+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your pjproject packages.

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

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.
