Synopsis

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

Description

Andy Lutomirski discovered that tcsd (the TPM userspace daemon) was missing input validation. Using carefully crafted input, it can lead to a denial of service by making the daemon crash with a segmentation fault.

Solution

Upgrade the trousers packages.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 0.3.5-2+squeeze1.
