Debian DSA-2281-1 : opie - several vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 55641

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Sebastian Krahmer discovered that opie, a system that makes it simple to use One-Time passwords in applications, is prone to a privilege escalation (CVE-2011-2490 ) and an off-by-one error, which can lead to the execution of arbitrary code (CVE-2011-2489 ). Adam Zabrocki and Maksymilian Arciemowicz also discovered another off-by-one error (CVE-2010-1938 ), which only affects the lenny version as the fix was already included in squeeze.

Solution

Upgrade the opie packages.

For the oldstable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 2.32-10.2+lenny2.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 2.32.dfsg.1-0.2+squeeze1
