Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 9 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2725 advisory.

Several security vulnerabilities have been discovered in lrzip, a compression program. Heap-based and stack buffer overflows, use-after-free and infinite loops would allow attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly other unspecified impact via a crafted file. For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 0.631-1+deb9u1. We recommend that you upgrade your lrzip packages. For the detailed security status of lrzip please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security- tracker.debian.org/tracker/lrzip Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
