Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Debian 11 / 12 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5550 advisory.

Multiple security vulnerabilities have been discovered in Cacti, a web interface for graphing of monitoring systems, which could result in cross-site scripting, SQL injection, an open redirect or command injection. For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 1.2.16+ds1-2+deb11u2. For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 1.2.24+ds1-1+deb12u1. We recommend that you upgrade your cacti packages. For the detailed security status of cacti please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/cacti

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

Solution

Upgrade the cacti packages.

For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 1.2.24+ds1-1+deb12u1.
