Fedora 22 : cabal-install-1.18.1.0-1.fc22 / haskell-platform-2014.2.0.0.2-4.fc22 (2015-8206)

high Nessus Plugin ID 84095

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Force cabal upload to always use digest auth and never basic auth

Note this only affects uploading of new source tarballs to Hackage by Haskell upstream package maintainers. It is safer to upload packages via the Hackage web interface.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected cabal-install and / or haskell-platform packages.
