Debian DLA-979-1 : debian-security-support update

high Nessus Plugin ID 100672

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Besides bringing the package up to date regarding translations this update marks several packages as no longer supported by wheezy-lts :

autotrace, inspircd, ioquake3, kfreebsd-8, kfreebsd-9, matrixssl, teeworlds and trn

For the reasoning please see the links provided in

/usr/share/debian-security-support/security-support-ended.deb8

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2017.06.02+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your debian-security-support 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 debian-security-support package.
