high Nessus Plugin ID 174589

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-3395 advisory.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3395-2 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Sylvain Beucler April 20, 2023 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : golang-1.11 Version : 1.11.6-1+deb10u7

The previous golang-1.11 update released as DLA-3395-1 failed to build reliably on the armhf architecture, due to intermittent (flaky) test cases in the test suite, which is run on package build as part of Debian quality assurance. This update disables a few such tests and has otherwise no impact on the published golang-1.11 package.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 1.11.6-1+deb10u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your golang-1.11 packages.

For the detailed security status of golang-1.11 please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/golang-1.11

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 golang-1.11 packages.
