Summary

The remote host is missing an update for the 'usermode' package(s) announced via the DLA-2744-1 advisory.

Insight

Insight

This update is merely a rebuild of the usermode package, which are a set of graphical tools for certain user account management tasks, fixing two issues: a) the versioning issue as wheezy (Debian 7) had a greater version than jessie (Debian 8) and stretch (Debian 9), thereby causing upgrade issues. b) the package now Depends and Build-Depends on the newer libuser1-dev (>= 1:0.62~dfsg-0.1) to ensure the latest version of libuser is used (which was a security fix).

Affected Software

Affected Software

'usermode' package(s) on Debian Linux.

Solution

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 1.109-1+deb9u1. We recommend that you upgrade your usermode packages.
