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:2012-970:03 advisory.

Libraries for the K Desktop Environment.
KDE Libraries include: kdecore (KDE core library), kdeui (user interface), kfm (file manager), khtmlw (HTML widget), kio (Input/Output, networking), kspell (spelling checker), jscript (javascript), kab (addressbook), kimgio (image manipulation).
Security issues fixed with this release:
CVE-2012-4512 No description available at the time of writing, please refer to the link below.
CVE-2012-4513 khtml/imload/scaledimageplane.h in Konqueror in KDE 4.7.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly read memory via large canvas dimensions, which leads to an unexpected sign extension and a heap-based buffer over-read.
Fixed bugs:
The KDE print dialog now remembers previous settings.
When set up to use the Traditional Chinese language (the zh_TW locale), Konqueror incorrectly used a Chinese (zh_CN) version of its splash page. This has been fixed.
The Plasma Workspace sometimes used to much CPU time when clicking on the system try to reveal hidden icons. This has been fixed.
When copying files and directories with Konqueror, if one of the subdirectories was not accessible, no warning was reported. This has been fixed.
Konqueror would crash with a segmentation fault when adding a Terminal Emulator to the Main Toolbar;
this has been fixed.

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 packages.
