Debian DLA-1908-1 : pump security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 128428

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there was an arbitrary code execution vulnerability in the pump BOOTP and DHCP client.

When copying the body of the server response, the ethernet packet length could be forged leading to being able to overwrite up to 'ETH_FRAME_LEN - sizeof(*ipHdr) - sizeof(*udpHdr) - sizeof(*bresp)' bytes of stack memory.

Thanks to <[email protected]> for the report and patch.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this issue has been fixed in pump version 0.8.24-7+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your pump 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 pump package.
