Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-666-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'guile-2.0' package(s) announced via the DLA-666-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'guile-2.0' package(s) announced via the DLA-666-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Several vulnerabilities were discovered in GNU Guile, an implementation of the Scheme programming language. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following issues. CVE-2016-8605 The mkdir procedure of GNU Guile temporarily changed the process' umask to zero. During that time window, in a multithreaded application, other threads could end up creating files with insecure permissions. CVE-2016-8606 GNU Guile provides a REPL server which is a command prompt that developers can connect to for live coding and debugging purposes. The REPL server is started by the '--listen' command-line option or equivalent API. It was reported that the REPL server is vulnerable to the HTTP inter-protocol attack. This constitutes a remote code execution vulnerability for developers running a REPL server that listens on a loopback device or private network. Applications that do not run a REPL server, as is usually the case, are unaffected. For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.5+1-3+deb7u1. We recommend that you upgrade your guile-2.0 packages.

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
