Synopsis

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

Description

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3550-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Chris Lamb August 30, 2023 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

Package : opendmarc Version : 1.3.2-6+deb10u4 Debian Bug : 965284

It was discovered that there was an issue in the opendmarc DMARC email filter system. A call to db_stop was missing from the post-installation script which meant that, under some configurations, the script would hang indefinitely.

This problem had been previously addressed in Debian bug #965284 within Debian unstable; this update merely cherry-picks this update for Debian LTS.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 1.3.2-6+deb10u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your opendmarc packages.

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

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 libopendmarc-dev packages.
