Debian DLA-630-1 : zookeeper security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 93570

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Lyon Yang discovered that the C client shells cli_st and cli_mt of Apache Zookeeper, a high-performance coordination service for distributed applications, were affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability associated with parsing of the input command when using the 'cmd:' batch mode syntax. If the command string exceeds 1024 characters a buffer overflow will occur.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 3.3.5+dfsg1-2+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your zookeeper 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.
