Debian DLA-440-1 : dansguardian package update

high Nessus Plugin ID 89000

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

As described in DLA-437-1, clamav has been updated to the most recent upstream version, 0.99. Due to a soname change in libclamav, packages depending on libclamav needed to be recompiled to work with the new libclamav7. At the time DLA-437-1 was sent, updated dansguardian packages were not available. An update to dansguardian has now been uploaded and packages should be available shortly. The recommendation in DLA-437-1 not to upgrade clamav if using it with dansguardian in no longer applicable. Upgrading clamav and dansguardian is recommended for the reasons described in DLA-437-1.

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

Solution

Upgrade the affected dansguardian package.
