Debian DLA-1361-1 : psensor security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 109328

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that psensor, a server for monitoring hardware sensors remotely, was prone to a directory traversal vulnerability because the create_response function in server/server.c lacks a check for whether a file is under the webserver directory.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.6.2.17-2+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your psensor 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.
