Debian DSA-5503-1 : netatalk - security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 181731

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Debian 11 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5503 advisory.

Multiple security issues were discovered in Netatalk, an implementation of the Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) for offering file service (mainly) to macOS clients, which may result in the execution of arbitrary code or information disclosure. For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 3.1.12~ds-8+deb11u1. We recommend that you upgrade your netatalk packages. For the detailed security status of netatalk please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security- tracker.debian.org/tracker/netatalk

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 netatalk packages.
