Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.702592
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-2592-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'elinks' package(s) announced via the DSA-2592-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'elinks' package(s) announced via the DSA-2592-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Marko Myllynen discovered that ELinks, a powerful text-mode browser, incorrectly delegates user credentials during GSS-Negotiate.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 0.12~
pre5-2+squeeze1. Since the initial Squeeze release, XULRunner needed to be updated and the version currently in the archive is incompatible with ELinks. As such, JavaScript support needed to be disabled (only a small subset of typical functionality was supported anyway). It will likely be re-enabled in a later point update.

For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 0.12~
pre5-9.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.12~
pre5-9.

We recommend that you upgrade your elinks packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'elinks' package(s) on Debian 6.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
