Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 11 / 12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5481 advisory.

Multipe security issues were discovered in Fast DDS, a C++ implementation of the DDS (Data Distribution Service), which might result in denial of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary code when processing malformed RTPS packets. For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 2.1.0+ds-9+deb11u1. For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 2.9.1+ds-1+deb12u1. We recommend that you upgrade your fastdds packages. For the detailed security status of fastdds please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security- tracker.debian.org/tracker/fastdds

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the fastdds packages.

For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 2.9.1+ds-1+deb12u1.
