Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2025-48057

low Nessus Plugin ID 259487

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.

 - Icinga 2 is a monitoring system which checks the availability of network resources, notifies users of outages, and generates performance data for reporting. Prior to versions 2.12.12, 2.13.12, and 2.14.6, the VerifyCertificate() function can be tricked into incorrectly treating certificates as valid. This allows an attacker to send a malicious certificate request that is then treated as a renewal of an already existing certificate, resulting in the attacker obtaining a valid certificate that can be used to impersonate trusted nodes. This only occurs when Icinga 2 is built with OpenSSL older than version 1.1.0.
 This issue has been patched in versions 2.12.12, 2.13.12, and 2.14.6. (CVE-2025-48057)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
