high Nessus Plugin ID 289118

Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the AXSA:2017-1742:03 advisory.

 The Apache HTTP Server is a powerful, efficient, and extensible web server.
 Security issues fixed with this release:
 CVE-2016-8743
 ** RESERVED ** This candidate has been reserved by an organization or individual that will use it when announcing a new security problem. When the candidate has been publicized, the details for this candidate will be provided.
 Fixed bugs:
 * Previously, httpd was unable to correctly check a boundary of an array, and in rare cases it attempted to access an element of an array that was out of bounds. Consequently, httpd terminated unexpectedly with a segmentation fault at proxy_util.c. With this update, bounds checking has been fixed, and httpd no longer crashes.

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

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
