Debian DLA-733-1 : openafs security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 95486

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there was an information leak vulnerability in openafs, a distributed filesystem.

Due to incomplete initialization or clearing of reused memory, OpenAFS directory objects are likely to contain 'dead' directory entry information.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this issue has been fixed in openafs version 1.6.1-3+deb7u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your openafs 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.
