Information

Systems need to have the respective package manager repositories configured to ensure that the system is able to receive the latest patches and updates.

Rationale:

If a system's package repositories are misconfigured, important patches may not be identified or a rogue repository could introduce compromised software.

NOTE: Nessus has provided the target output to assist in reviewing the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Configure your package manager repositories according to site policy.
