Package : ocsinventory-server Version : 2.5+dfsg1-1+deb10u1 CVE ID : n/a Debian Bug :

The source package ocsinventory-server, a Hardware and software inventory tool has been updated to address the API change in php-cas due to CVE-2022-39369, see DLA 3485-1 for details.

CAS is an optional authentication mechanism in the binary package ocsinventory-reports, and if used, ocsinventory-reports will stop working until it has been reconfigured:

It now requires the baseURL of to-be-authenticated service to be configured.

For ocsinventory-reports, this is configured with the variable $cas_service_base_url in the file /usr/share/ocsinventory-reports/backend/require/cas.config.php

Warning: regardless of this update, ocsreports-server should only be used in secure and trusted environments.


For Debian 10 buster, this update is available through version 2.5+dfsg1-1+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ocsinventory-server packages.

For the detailed security status of ocsinventory-server please refer to its security tracker page at:
