high Nessus Plugin ID 226703

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.

 - The Service Location Protocol (SLP, RFC 2608) allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to register arbitrary services. This could allow the attacker to use spoofed UDP traffic to conduct a denial-of- service attack with a significant amplification factor. (CVE-2023-29552)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
