Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that it was possible to bypass SASL negotiation isComplete validation in libthrift-java, Java language support for the Apache Thrift software framework. An assert used to determine if the SASL handshake had successfully completed could be disabled in production settings making the validation incomplete.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.1-2+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libthrift-java 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 libthrift-java package.
