SuSE 11.1 Security Update : openSLP (SAT Patch Number 3312)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 51628

Language:

Synopsis

The remote SuSE 11 host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The openslp daemon could run into an endless loop when receiving specially crafted packets (CVE-2010-3609). This has been fixed.

Additionally the following non-security bugs were fixed :

 - 564504: Fix handling of DA answers if both active and passive DA detection is off

 - 597215: Add configuration options to openSLP:
 net.slp.DASyncReg makes slpd query statically configured DAs for registrations, net.slp.isDABackup enables periodic writing of remote registrations to a backup file which is also read on startup. Both options can be used to decrease the time between the start of the slpd daemon and slpd knowing all registrations.

 - 601002: reduce CPU usage spikes on machines with many connections by using the kernel netlink interface instead of reading the /proc filesystem.

 - 626444: Standard compliance was fixed by stripping leading and trailing white spaces when doing string comparisons of scopes.

Solution

Apply SAT patch number 3312.
