Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-2017-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'pulseaudio' package(s) announced via the DSA-2017-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'pulseaudio' package(s) announced via the DSA-2017-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Dan Rosenberg discovered that the PulseAudio sound server creates a temporary directory with a predictable name. This allows a local attacker to create a Denial of Service condition or possibly disclose sensitive information to unprivileged users.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.10-3+lenny2.

For the testing (squeeze) and unstable (sid) distribution this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your pulseaudio package.

Affected Software/OS:
'pulseaudio' package(s) on Debian 5.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
