Debian DLA-1039-1 : rkhunter security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 101960

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

CVE-2017-7480 The original patch introduces new regex to better check for allowed download URLs. Other versions of the package in Jessie, Stretch and Sid don't apply that patch but just disable the download of everything by default via rkhunter.conf. In order to make this version consistent with all the other distributions and don't break existing installations, this will be done in Wheezy as well.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.4.0-1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your rkhunter 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 rkhunter package.
