Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'git-core' package(s) announced via the DSA-1841 advisory. This VT has been deprecated as a duplicate of the VT 'Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-1841-1)' (OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.64480). Vulnerability Insight: It was discovered that git-daemon which is part of git-core, a popular distributed revision control system, is vulnerable to denial of service attacks caused by a programming mistake in handling requests containing extra unrecognized arguments which results in an infinite loop. While this is no problem for the daemon itself as every request will spawn a new git-daemon instance, this still results in a very high CPU consumption and might lead to denial of service conditions. For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.4.4-4+etch3. For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1.5.6.5-3+lenny2. For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.6.3.3-1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.6.3.3-1. We recommend that you upgrade your git-core packages. Affected Software/OS: 'git-core' package(s) on Debian 4, Debian 5. Solution: Please install the updated package(s).
