medium Nessus Plugin ID 77762

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

Antoine Delignat-Lavaud and Karthikeyan Bhargavan discovered that it was possible to reuse cached SSL sessions in unrelated contexts, allowing virtual host confusion attacks in some configurations by an attacker in a privileged network position.

Solution

Upgrade the nginx packages.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.1-2.2+wheezy3.
