high Nessus Plugin ID 77419

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

Nikolaus Rath discovered that s3ql, a file system for online data storage, used the pickle functionality of the Python programming language in an unsafe way. As a result, a malicious storage backend or man-in-the-middle attacker was able execute arbitrary code.

Solution

Upgrade the s3ql packages.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1.11.1-3+deb7u1.
