Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.61781 |
Category: | Debian Local Security Checks |
Title: | Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-1659-1) |
Summary: | The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libspf2' package(s) announced via the DSA-1659-1 advisory. |
Description: | Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libspf2' package(s) announced via the DSA-1659-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Dan Kaminsky discovered that libspf2, an implementation of the Sender Policy Framework (SPF) used by mail servers for mail filtering, handles malformed TXT records incorrectly, leading to a buffer overflow condition (CVE-2008-2469). Note that the SPF configuration template in Debian's Exim configuration recommends to use libmail-spf-query-perl, which does not suffer from this issue. For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.5-4+etch1. For the testing distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.5.dfsg-5+lenny1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your libspf2 package. Affected Software/OS: 'libspf2' package(s) on Debian 4. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 10.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
