high Nessus Plugin ID 159632

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

The remote Debian 9 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-2973 advisory.

 An issue has been found in minidlna, a lightweight DLNA/UPnP-AV server targeted at embedded systems. HTTP requests needed more checks to protect against DNS rebinding, thus forbid a remote web server to exfiltrate media files. For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.6+dfsg-1+deb9u2.
 We recommend that you upgrade your minidlna packages. For the detailed security status of minidlna please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/minidlna 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

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

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 minidlna packages.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.6+dfsg-1+deb9u2.
