- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3968-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Thorsten Alteholz November 28, 2024 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : netatalk Version : 3.1.12~ds-8+deb11u2 CVE ID : CVE-2022-22995 CVE-2024-38439 CVE-2024-38440 CVE-2024-38441

Several issues have been found in netatalk, an Apple Filing Protocol service. Three issues are related to off-by-one errorrs and resultant heap-based buffer overflow. One issue is related to primitives offered by SMB and AFP, which might allow an attacker to write arbitrary files and eventually execute arbitrary code.

For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version 3.1.12~ds-8+deb11u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your netatalk packages.

For the detailed security status of netatalk please refer to its security tracker page at:

Solution

Upgrade the netatalk packages.
