Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.1.2.2016.470
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-470-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libksba' package(s) announced via the DLA-470-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libksba' package(s) announced via the DLA-470-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
It was discovered that there was a possible read access beyond a buffer vulnerability in libksba, a X.509 and CMS certificate support library.

The returned length of the object from _ksba_ber_parse_tl (ti.length) was not always checked against the actual buffer length, thus leading to a read access after the end of the buffer and thus a SEGV.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, this issue has been fixed in libksba version 1.2.0-2+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libksba packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'libksba' package(s) on Debian 7.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.0
