Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.891597
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-1597-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'gnuplot' package(s) announced via the DLA-1597-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'gnuplot' package(s) announced via the DLA-1597-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
gnuplot, a command-line driven interactive plotting program, has been examined with fuzzing by Tim Blazytko, Cornelius Aschermann, Sergej Schumilo and Nils Bars. They found various overflow cases which might lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

Due to special toolchain hardening in Debian, CVE-2018-19492 is not security relevant, but it is a bug and the patch was applied for the sake of completeness. Probably some downstream project does not have the same toolchain settings.

For Debian 8 Jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 4.6.6-2+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your gnuplot packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'gnuplot' package(s) on Debian 8.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
6.8

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
