Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.1.2.2015.277
Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-277-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libidn' package(s) announced via the DLA-277-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libidn' package(s) announced via the DLA-277-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Thijs Alkemade discovered that the Jabber server may pass an invalid UTF-8 string to libidn, the GNU library for Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs). In the case of the Jabber server, this results in information disclosure, and it is likely that some other applications using libidn have similar vulnerabilities. This update changes libidn to check for invalid strings rather than assuming that the application has done so. For the oldoldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 1.15-2+deb6u1. For the oldstable distribution (wheezy) and stable distribution (jessie), this problem will be fixed soon. Affected Software/OS: 'libidn' package(s) on Debian 6. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
