MiracleLinux 4 : sos-3.2-28.2.0.1.AXS4 (AXSA:2016-073:01)

high Nessus Plugin ID 289288

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:2016-073:01 advisory.

 Sos is a set of tools that gathers information about system hardware and configuration. The information can then be used for diagnostic purposes and debugging. Sos is commonly used to help support technicians and developers.
 Security issues fixed with this release:
 CVE-2015-7529
 ** 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, when the hpasm plug-in ran the hpasmcli command in a Python Popen constructor or a system pipeline, the command would hang and eventually time out after 300 seconds. Sos was forced to wait for the time out to finish, unnecessarily prolonging its run time. With this update, the timeout of the hpasmcli command has been set to 0, eliminating the delay and speeding up sos completion time.

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 sos package.
