New! Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR)
Tenable calculates a dynamic VPR for every vulnerability. VPR combines vulnerability information with threat intelligence and machine learning algorithms to predict which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited in attacks. Read more about what VPR is and how it's different from CVSS.
VPR Score: 3.6
Synopsis
The remote Debian host is missing a security update.
Description
CVE-2014-4975
The encodes() function in pack.c had an off-by-one error that could lead to a stack-based buffer overflow. This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or arbitrary code execution.
CVE-2014-8080, CVE-2014-8090
The REXML parser could be coerced into allocating large string objects that could consume all available memory on the system. This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash).
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
