Debian DLA-452-1 : smarty3 security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 90870

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Smarty3, a template engine for PHP, allowed remote attackers to bypass the secure mode restrictions and execute arbitrary PHP code as demonstrated by '{literal}<{/literal}script language=php>' in a template.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 3.1.10-2+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your smarty3 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 smarty3 package.
