Debian DLA-2820-1 : atftp - LTS security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 155440

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2820 advisory.

- An exploitable denial of service vulnerability exists in the atftpd daemon functionality of atftp 0.7.git20120829-3.1+b1. A specially crafted sequence of RRQ-Multicast requests trigger an assert() call resulting in denial-of-service. An attacker can send a sequence of malicious packets to trigger this vulnerability. (CVE-2020-6097)

- tftpd_file.c in atftp through 0.7.4 has a buffer overflow because buffer-size handling does not properly consider the combination of data, OACK, and other options. (CVE-2021-41054)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the atftp packages.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 0.7.git20120829-3.1~deb9u2.
