Debian DLA-1945-1 : openconnect security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 129572

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

A vulnerability was discovered by Lukas Kupczyk of the Advanced Research Team at CrowdStrike Intelligence in OpenConnect, an open client for Cisco AnyConnect, Pulse, GlobalProtect VPN. A malicious HTTP server (after its identity certificate has been accepted) can provide bogus chunk lengths for chunked HTTP encoding and cause a heap overflow.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 6.00-2+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your openconnect 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.
