Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2019-10092

medium Nessus Plugin ID 222675

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- In Apache HTTP Server 2.4.0-2.4.39, a limited cross-site scripting issue was reported affecting the mod_proxy error page. An attacker could cause the link on the error page to be malformed and instead point to a page of their choice. This would only be exploitable where a server was set up with proxying enabled but was misconfigured in such a way that the Proxy Error page was displayed. (CVE-2019-10092)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
