Debian DLA-1898-1 : xymon security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 128179

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in xymon, the network monitoring application. Remote attackers might leverage these vulnerabilities in the CGI parsing code (including buffer overflows and XSS) to cause denial of service, or any other unspecified impact.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 4.3.17-6+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your xymon 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 xymon, and xymon-client packages.
