Debian DLA-511-1 : libtorrent-rasterbar security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 91575

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

A specially crafted HTTP response from a tracker (or potentially a UPnP broadcast) can crash libtorrent in the parse_chunk_header() function. Although this function is not present in this version, upstream's additional sanity checks were added to abort the program if necessary instead of crashing it.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.15.10-1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libtorrent-rasterbar 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 packages.
