Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.53394
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian Security Advisory DSA 116-1 (cfs)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to cfs;announced via advisory DSA 116-1.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to cfs
announced via advisory DSA 116-1.

Vulnerability Insight:
Zorgon found several buffer overflows in cfsd, a daemon that pushes
encryption services into the Unix(tm) file system. We are not yet
sure if these overflows can successfully be exploited to gain root
access to the machine running the CFS daemon. However, since cfsd can
easily be forced to die, a malicious user can easily perform a denial
of service attack to it.

This problem has been fixed in version 1.3.3-8.1 for the stable Debian
distribution and in version 1.4.1-5 for the testing and undtable
distribution of Debian.

Solution:
We recommend that you upgrade your cfs package immediately.

CVSS Score:
