Debian DLA-575-2 : collectd regression update

high Nessus Plugin ID 92638

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The previous upload of collectd surfaced a problem in the way the network plugin initializes gcrypt preventing the plugin from being loaded when packet signing or encryption is enabled. Previously, this may have led to program crashes.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 5.1.0-3+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your collectd 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.
