Debian Security Advisory DSA-3271-1 security@debian.org

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : nbd
CVE ID : CVE-2013-7441 CVE-2015-0847
Debian Bug : 781547 784657
Tuomas Räsänen discovered that unsafe signal handling in nbd-server, the
server for the Network Block Device protocol, could allow remote
attackers to cause a deadlock in the server process and thus a denial of
service.
Tuomas Räsänen also discovered that the modern-style negotiation was
carried out in the main server process before forking the actual client
handler. This could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service
(crash) by querying a non-existent export. This issue only affected the
oldstable distribution (wheezy).
For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed
in version 1:3.2-4~deb7u5.
For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
version 1:3.8-4+deb8u1.
For the testing distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed
in version 1:3.10-1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 1:3.10-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your nbd packages.
