Synopsis

The remote Slackware Linux host is missing a security update to netatalk.

Description

The version of netatalk installed on the remote host is prior to 3.1.14. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SSA:2023-013-01 advisory.

- Netatalk through 3.1.13 has an afp_getappl heap-based buffer overflow resulting in code execution via a crafted .appl file. This provides remote root access on some platforms such as FreeBSD (used for TrueNAS).
