Debian DLA-469-1 : libgwenhywfar security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 91109

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that libgwenhywfar (an OS abstraction layer that allows porting of software to different operating systems like Linux,

*BSD, Windows etc.) used an outdated CA certificate bundle.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this issue has been fixed in libgwenhywfar version 4.3.3-1+deb7u1 by utilising the ca-certificates package.

We recommend that you upgrade your libgwenhywfar 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 packages.
