Debian DLA-505-1 : libpdfbox-java security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 91522

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Apache PDFBox did not properly initialize the XML parsers, which allows context-dependent attackers to conduct XML External Entity (XXE) attacks via a crafted PDF. This may lead to the disclosure of confidential data, denial of service, server side request forgery, port scanning from the perspective of the machine where the parser is located, and other system impacts.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1:1.7.0+dfsg-4+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libpdfbox-java packages.

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 packages.
