Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.66100
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-1916-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'kdelibs' package(s) announced via the DSA-1916-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'kdelibs' package(s) announced via the DSA-1916-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Dan Kaminsky and Moxie Marlinspike discovered that kdelibs, core libraries from the official KDE release, does not properly handle a '0' character in a domain name in the Subject Alternative Name field of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority.

For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-8etch3.

Due to a bug in the archive system, the fix for the stable distribution (lenny), will be released as version 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-0lenny3 once it is available.

For the testing distribution (squeeze), and the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-2.1.

We recommend that you upgrade your kdelibs packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'kdelibs' package(s) on Debian 4, Debian 5.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
7.5
