MiracleLinux 4 : piranha-0.8.6-4.2.0.1.AXS4 (AXSA:2014-348:01)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 289259

Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the AXSA:2014-348:01 advisory.

 Various tools to administer and configure the Linux Virtual Server as well as heartbeating and failover components. The LVS is a dynamically adjusted kernel routing mechanism that provides load balancing primarily for web and ftp servers though other services are supported.
 Security issues fixed with this release:
 CVE-2013-6492 The Piranha Configuration Tool in Piranha 0.8.6 does not properly restrict access to webpages, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and read or modify the LVS configuration via an HTTP POST request.
 Fixed bugs:
 Previously, the lvsd service failed to start, because the sem_timedwait() function received the interrupted function call (EINTR) error and exited. This has been fixed.

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 piranha package.
