 - Apache
 - AppSandbox
 - AppleScript
 - Application Firewall
 - ATS
 - Audio
 - CFNetwork
 - CFNetwork Proxies
 - CFString
 - Captive Network Assistant
 - CoreAudio
 - CoreText
 - DesktopServices
 - Directory Utility
 - file
 - Fonts
 - fsck_msdos
 - HFS
 - Heimdal
 - HelpViewer
 - IOFireWireFamily
 - ImageIO
 - Installer
 - Kernel
 - kext tools
 - libarchive
 - libc
 - libexpat
 - Mail
 - Mail Drafts
 - ntp
 - Open Scripting Architecture
 - PCRE
 - Postfix
 - Quick Look
 - QuickTime
 - Remote Management
 - SQLite
 - Sandbox
 - Screen Lock
 - Security
 - Spotlight
 - WebKit
 - zlib

Note that successful exploitation of the most serious issues can result in arbitrary code execution.

According to the version of the postfix packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - Postfix before 2.11.10, 3.0.x before 3.0.10, 3.1.x     before 3.1.6, and 3.2.x before 3.2.2 might allow local     users to gain privileges by leveraging undocumented     functionality in Berkeley DB 2.x and later, related to     reading settings from DB_CONFIG in the current     directory.(CVE-2017-10140)

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

It was discovered that Berkeley DB incorrectly handled certain configuration files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to read sensitive information.

The remote host is running Mac OS X 10.11.6 or Mac OS X 10.12.6 and is missing a security update. It is therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities affecting the following components :

  - 802.1X
  - apache
  - AppleScript
  - ATS
  - Audio
  - CFString
  - CoreText
  - curl
  - Dictionary Widget
  - file
  - Fonts
  - fsck_msdos
  - HFS
  - Heimdal
  - HelpViewer
  - ImageIO
  - Kernel
  - libarchive
  - Open Scripting Architecture
  - PCRE
  - Postfix
  - Quick Look
  - QuickTime
  - Remote Management
  - Sandbox
  - StreamingZip
  - tcpdump
  - Wi-Fi

It was found that the Berkeley DB reads DB_CONFIG from the current working directory, leading to information leak by tricking privileged processes into reading arbitrary files.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 4.7.25-21+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your db4.7 packages.

It was found that the Berkeley DB reads DB_CONFIG from the current working directory, leading to information leak by tricking privileged processes into reading arbitrary files.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 4.8.30-12+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your db4.8 packages.
