Category:Debian Local Security Checks

Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'xml-security-c' package(s) announced via the DSA-1849-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'xml-security-c' package(s) announced via the DSA-1849-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
It was discovered that the W3C XML Signature recommendation contains a protocol-level vulnerability related to HMAC output truncation. This update implements the proposed workaround in the C++ version of the Apache implementation of this standard, xml-security-c, by preventing truncation to output strings shorter than 80 bits or half of the original HMAC output, whichever is greater.

For the old stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.1-3+etch1.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.0-3+lenny2.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.0-4.

We recommend that you upgrade your xml-security-c packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'xml-security-c' package(s) on Debian 4, Debian 5.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
