Fedora 20 : nas-1.9.3-9.fc20 (2013-16936)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 70153

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This release fixes four security bugs: buffer overflow when parsing display number (CVE-2013-4256), heap overflow when processing AUDIOHOST variable (CVE-2013-4257), formatting string for syslog call (CVE-2013-4258), and a race when opening a TCP device.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected nas package.
