medium Nessus Plugin ID 72501

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

It was discovered that the Piranha Configuration Tool did not properly restrict access to its web pages. A remote attacker able to connect to the Piranha Configuration Tool web server port could use this flaw to read or modify the LVS configuration without providing valid administrative credentials. (CVE-2013-6492)

This update also fixes the following bug :

- When the lvsd service attempted to start, the sem_timedwait() function received the interrupted function call (EINTR) error and exited, causing the lvsd service to fail to start. With this update, EINTR errors are correctly ignored during the start-up of the lvsd service.

Solution

Update the affected piranha and / or piranha-debuginfo packages.
