Debian DLA-2515-1 : csync2 security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 144725

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that csync2, a cluster synchronization tool, did not correctly check for the return value from GnuTLS security routines. It neglected to repeatedly call this function as required by the design of the API.

For Debian 9 'Stretch', this problem has been fixed in version 2.0-8-g175a01c-4+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your csync2 packages.

For the detailed security status of csync2 please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/csync2

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 csync2 package.
