Fedora 22 : suricata-2.0.8-1.fc22 (2015-7730)

high Nessus Plugin ID 83825

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This update fixes a bug in the DER parser which is used to decode SSL/TLS certificates could crash Suricata. Also, those processing large numbers of (untrusted) pcap files need to update as a malformed pcap could crash Suricata.

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 suricata package.
