medium Nessus Plugin ID 80636

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Solaris system is missing a security patch for third-party software.

Description

The remote Solaris system is missing necessary patches to address security updates :

- The huft_build function in inflate.c in gzip before 1.3.13 creates a hufts (aka huffman) table that is too small, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash or infinite loop) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted archive.
NOTE: this issue is caused by a CVE-2006-4334 regression. (CVE-2009-2624)

Solution

Upgrade to Solaris 11.1.
