Debian DLA-915-1 : botan1.10 security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 99672

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

A bug in X509 DN string comparisons could result in out of bound reads. This could result in information leakage, denial of service, or potentially incorrect certificate validation results.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.10.5-1+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your botan1.10 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.
