medium Nessus Plugin ID 97796

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was found that a JavaScript present in the book can access files on the computer using XMLHttpRequest.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.8.51+dfsg1-0.1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your calibre 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 calibre, and calibre-bin packages.
