Debian DSA-5063-1 : uriparser - security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 157257

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Debian 10 / 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5063 advisory.

 Two vulnerabilities were discovered in uriparser, a library that parses Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs), which may result in denial of service or potentially in the execution of arbitrary code. For the oldstable distribution (buster), these problems have been fixed in version 0.9.1-1+deb10u1. For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 0.9.4+dfsg-1+deb11u1. We recommend that you upgrade your uriparser packages. For the detailed security status of uriparser please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/uriparser

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

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

Solution

Upgrade the uriparser packages.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 0.9.4+dfsg-1+deb11u1.
