medium Nessus Plugin ID 266274

Synopsis

The remote NewStart CGSL host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.06, has PyYAML packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

 - scanner.c in LibYAML 0.1.5 and 0.1.6, as used in the YAML-LibYAML (aka YAML-XS) module for Perl, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and crash) via vectors involving line-wrapping. (CVE-2014-9130)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution
