medium Nessus Plugin ID 81350

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

Update to 2.3.3, fixes CVE-2015-1191 :

 - Return zero exit code when only warnings are issued

 - Increase speed of unlzw (Unix compress decompression)

 - Update zopfli to current google state

 - Allow larger maximum blocksize (-b), now 512 MiB

 - Do not require that -d precede -N, -n, -T options

 - Strip any path from header name for -dN or -dNT

 - Remove use of PATH_MAX (PATH_MAX is not reliable)

 - Do not abort on inflate data error, do remaining files

 - Check gzip header CRC if present

 - Improve decompression error detection and reporting

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 pigz package.
