Package : fossil Version : 1:2.8-1+deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2024-24795 Debian Bug : 1070069
Fossil was broken by fixes of CVE-2024-24795 for apache2 package, and needed an update.
As part of the security fix, the Apache webserver mod_cgi module has stopped relaying the Content-Length field of the HTTP reply header from the CGI programs back to the client in cases where the connection is to be closed and the client is able to read until end-of-file.
Fossil was fixed by reading the whole input, re-allocating the input buffer to fit as more input is received, instead of trusting the CONTENT_LENGTH variable.
For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 1:2.8-1+deb10u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your fossil packages.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
