Debian DLA-1682-1 : uriparser security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 122267

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Joergen Ibsen reported an issue with uriparser, a URI parsing library compliant with RFC 3986.

An Out-of-bounds read for incomplete URIs with IPv6 addresses with embedded IPv4 address, e.g. '//[::44.1', were possible.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 0.8.0.1-2+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your uriparser 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 liburiparser-dev, and liburiparser1 packages.
