Debian DLA-710-1 : akonadi update

high Nessus Plugin ID 94940

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

In some configurations the MySQL storage backend for Akonadi, an extensible cross-desktop Personal Information Management (PIM) storage service failed to start after applying the MySQL 5.5.53 security upgrade.

This update extends the /etc/akonadi/mysql-global.conf configuration file to restore compatibility (version 1.7.2-3+deb7u1 in Wheezy).

We recommend that you upgrade your akonadi 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.
