Debian DSA-5544-1 : zookeeper - security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 184099

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Debian 11 / 12 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5544 advisory.

Damien Diederen discovered that SASL quorum peer authentication within Zookeeper, a service for maintaining configuration information, was insufficiently enforced in some configurations. For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in version 3.4.13-6+deb11u1. For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in version 3.8.0-11+deb12u1. We recommend that you upgrade your zookeeper packages. For the detailed security status of zookeeper please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/zookeeper

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 zookeeper packages.

For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in version 3.8.0-11+deb12u1.
