Fedora 20 : php-sabre-dav-1.8.9-1.fc20 (2014-3401)

high Nessus Plugin ID 72968

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This release fixes a security issue and an issue related to large files in SabreDAV.

- XEE issue: Previous SabreDAV versions had a security issue, if running on the following PHP versions: PHP 5.3, older than 5.3.23, PHP 5.4, older than 5.4.13, PHP 5.5 is not affected by this.

- Large file support: It was also discovered that SabreDAV can often not serve files larger than 2GB, due to a bug in PHP's fpassthru method. If you ran into this issue, update sabredav. We are now no longer using fpasshtru.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected php-sabre-dav package.
