Debian DLA-304-1 : openslp-dfsg security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 85769

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Several issues have been found and solved in OpenSLP, that implements the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Service Location Protocol standards protocol.

CVE-2010-3609

Remote attackers could cause a Denial of Service in the Service Location Protocol daemon (SLPD) via a crafted packet with a 'next extension offset'.

CVE-2012-4428

Georgi Geshev discovered that an out-of-bounds read error in the SLPIntersectStringList() function could be used to cause a DoS.

CVE-2015-5177

A double free in the SLPDProcessMessage() function could be used to cause openslp to crash.

For Debian 6 'Squeeze', these problems have been fixed in openslp-dfsg version 1.2.1-7.8+deb6u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your openslp-dfsg packages.

Solution
