medium Nessus Plugin ID 79066

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the FreeBSD kernel that may lead to a denial of service or information disclosure.

- CVE-2014-3711 Denial of service through memory leak in sandboxed namei lookups.

- CVE-2014-3952 Kernel memory disclosure in sockbuf control messages.

- CVE-2014-3953 Kernel memory disclosure in SCTP. This update disables SCTP, since the userspace tools shipped in Wheezy didn't support SCTP anyway.

- CVE-2014-8476 Kernel stack disclosure in setlogin() and getlogin().

Solution

Upgrade the kfreebsd-9 packages.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 9.0-10+deb70.8.
