The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'squashfs-tools' package(s) announced via the DSA-4987-1 advisory. The tools do not check for duplicate filenames within a directory, which can be exploited by an attacker to write to arbitrary files in the filesystem

An attacker can take advantage of this flaw for writing to arbitrary files to the filesystem if a malformed Squashfs image is processed.

For the oldstable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in version 1:4.3-12+deb10u2.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in version 1:4.4-2+deb11u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your squashfs-tools packages.

For the detailed security status of squashfs-tools please refer to its security tracker page at: [link moved to references]");
