Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-5437-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'hsqldb' package(s) announced via the DSA-5437-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'hsqldb' package(s) announced via the DSA-5437-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Gregor Kopf of Secfault Security GmbH discovered that HSQLDB, a Java SQL database engine, allowed the execution of spurious scripting commands in .script and .log files. Hsqldb supports a SCRIPT keyword which is normally used to record the commands input by the database admin to output such a script. In combination with LibreOffice, an attacker could craft an odb containing a 'database/script' file which itself contained a SCRIPT command where the contents of the file could be written to a new file whose location was determined by the attacker. For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in version 2.5.1-1+deb11u2. For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in version 2.7.1-1+deb12u1. We recommend that you upgrade your hsqldb packages. For the detailed security status of hsqldb please refer to its security tracker page at: [link moved to references] Affected Software/OS: 'hsqldb' package(s) on Debian 11, Debian 12. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 4.9 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:C/A:N
