Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-1281-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'advancecomp' package(s) announced via the DLA-1281-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'advancecomp' package(s) announced via the DLA-1281-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Joonun Jang discovered that the advzip tool in advancecomp, a collection of recompression utilities, was prone to a heap-based buffer overflow. This might allow an attacker to cause a denial-of-service (application crash) or other unspecified impact via a crafted file.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 1.15-1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your advancecomp packages.
