Synopsis
The remote Oracle Linux host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The remote Oracle Linux 5 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2010-0221 advisory.- The strListGetItem function in src/HttpHeaderTools.c in Squid 2.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted auth header with certain comma delimiters that trigger an infinite loop of calls to the strcspn function. (CVE-2009-2855)
- lib/rfc1035.c in Squid 2.x, 3.0 through 3.0.STABLE22, and 3.1 through 3.1.0.15 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure) via a crafted DNS packet that only contains a header.
(CVE-2010-0308)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
