Debian DLA-903-1 : hunspell-en-us update

high Nessus Plugin ID 99542

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The dictionary provided by this package had an unnecessary unversioned conflict against the thunderbird package which recently got reintroduced into Wheezy.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this problem has been fixed in version 20070829-6+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your hunspell-en-us 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 hunspell-en-us package.
