FreeBSD : Konversation -- out-of-bounds read on a heap-allocated array (0167f5ad-64ea-11e4-98c1-00269ee29e57)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 78878

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

Konversation developers report :

Konversation's Blowfish ECB encryption support assumes incoming blocks to be the expected 12 bytes. The lack of a sanity-check for the actual size can cause a denial of service and an information leak to the local user.

Solution

Update the affected package.
