Debian DSA-5227-1 : libgoogle-gson-java - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 164825

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Debian 11 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5227 advisory.

It was discovered that Gson, a Java library that can be used to convert Java Objects into their JSON representations and vice versa, was vulnerable to a deserialization flaw. An application would de- serialize untrusted data without sufficiently verifying that the resulting data will be valid, letting the attacker to control the state or the flow of the execution. This can lead to a denial of service or even the execution of arbitrary code. For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in version 2.8.6-1+deb11u1. We recommend that you upgrade your libgoogle-gson-java packages. For the detailed security status of libgoogle-gson-java please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security- tracker.debian.org/tracker/libgoogle-gson-java

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 libgoogle-gson-java packages.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in version 2.8.6-1+deb11u1.
