medium Nessus Plugin ID 284400

Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2012-589:02 advisory.

389 Directory Server is an LDAPv3 compliant server. The base package includes the LDAP server and command line utilities for server administration.
Security issues fixed with this release:
CVE-2012-0833 The acllas__handle_group_entry function in servers/plugins/acl/acllas.c in 389 Directory Server before 1.2.10 does not properly handled access control instructions (ACIs) that use certificate groups, which allows remote authenticated LDAP users with a certificate group to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and CPU consumption) by binding to the server.
CVE-2012-2678 389 Directory Server before 1.2.11.6 (aka Red Hat Directory Server before 8.2.10-3), after the password for a LDAP user has been changed and before the server has been reset, allows remote attackers to read the plain text password via the unhashed#user#password attribute.
CVE-2012-2746 389 Directory Server before 1.2.11.6 (aka Red Hat Directory Server before 8.2.10-3), when the password of a LDAP user has been changed and audit logging is enabled, saves the new password to the log in plain text, which allows remote authenticated users to read the password.
Bug Fixes This update also fixes many bugs, too many to list here. Please refer to the changelog.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected 389-ds-base and / or 389-ds-base-libs packages.
