Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.53413
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian Security Advisory DSA 149-1 (glibc)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to glibc announced via advisory DSA 149-1.;; This VT has been deprecated and merged into the VT 'Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-149)' (OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.53423).
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to glibc announced via advisory DSA 149-1.

This VT has been deprecated and merged into the VT 'Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-149)' (OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.53423).

Vulnerability Insight:
An integer overflow bug has been discovered in the RPC library used by
GNU libc, which is derived from the SunRPC library. This bug could be
exploited to gain unauthorized root access to software linking to this
code. The packages below also fix integer overflows in the malloc
code. They also contain a fix from Andreas Schwab to reduce
linebuflen in parallel to bumping up the buffer pointer in the NSS DNS
code.

This problem has been fixed in version 2.1.3-23 for the old stable
distribution (potato), in version 2.2.5-11.1 for the current stable
distribution (woody) and in version 2.2.5-13 for the unstable
distribution (sid).

Solution:
We recommend that you upgrade your libc6 packages immediately.
