Debian DLA-403-1 : radicale security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 88388

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Several issues have been discovered by Unrud in Radicale, a calendar and addressbook server. A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities and call arbitrary functions by sending crafted HTTP requests.

CVE-2015-8748 Prevent regex injection in rights management.
Prevent crafted HTTP request from calling arbitrary functions.

CVE-2015-8747 The multifilesystem backend allows access to arbitrary files on all platforms. (Squeeze is not affected because the multifilesystem backend does not exist in this version.)

For Debian 6 'Squeeze', these problems have been fixed in version 0.3-2+deb6u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your radicale packages.

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

Solution

Upgrade the affected python-radicale, and radicale packages.
