Debian DLA-2665-1 : ring security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 149854

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

An issue has been found in ring, a secure and distributed voice, video and chat platform. Actually the embedded copy of pjproject is affected by this CVE. 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 20161221.2.7bd7d91~dfsg1-1+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ring packages.

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

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 ring, and ring-daemon packages.
