Debian DLA-518-1 : mozilla-devscripts security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 91689

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

In preparation of the upcoming switch to Icedove 45 the mozilla-devscripts package was updated to generate correct dependencies for rebuilt extensions.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.32+deb7u1.

In case you build mozilla extensions we recommend that you upgrade your mozilla-devscripts 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 mozilla-devscripts package.
