Debian DLA-588-2 : mongodb security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 92793

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

This is an update of DLA-588-1. The previous build had revision number that was considered lower than the one in wheezy and was therefore not installed at upgrade.

The text for DLA-588-1 is included here for reference (with some improvement).

Two security related problems have been found in the mongodb package, both related to logging.

CVE-2016-6494 World-readable .dbshell history file

Debian Bug 833087 Bruteforcable challenge responses in unprotected logfile

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.6-1.1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your mongodb 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.
