critical Nessus Plugin ID 275772

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.

- Arne Schwabe reports: Fix memcmp check for the hmac verification in the 3way handshake being inverted This is a stupid mistake but causes all hmac cookies to be accepted, thus breaking source IP address validation. As a consequence, TLS sessions can be openend and state can be consumed in the server from IP addresses that did not initiate an initial connection. While at it, fix check to only allow [t-2;t] timeslots, disallowing HMACs coming in from a future timeslot.
(CVE-2025-13086)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
