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:2015-329:01 advisory.

 GnuTLS is a project that aims to develop a library which provides a secure layer, over a reliable transport layer. Currently the GnuTLS library implements the proposed standards by the IETF's TLS working group.
 Security issues fixed with this release:
 CVE-2014-8155 CVE-2015-0282 CVE-2015-0294 Fixed bugs:
 * Previously, under certain circumstances, the certtool utility could generate X.509 certificates which contained a negative modulus. Consequently, such certificates could have interoperation problems with the software using them.
 With this update, the bug 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.
