Debian DSA-318-1 : lyskom-server - denial of service

medium Nessus Plugin ID 15155

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Calle Dybedahl discovered a bug in lyskom-server which could result in a denial of service where an unauthenticated user could cause the server to become unresponsive as it processes a large query.

Solution

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.0.6-1woody1.

The old stable distribution (potato) does not contain a lyskom-server package.

We recommend that you update your lyskom-server package.
