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:2014-385:01 advisory.This is the ASN.1 library used in GNUTLS. More up to date information can be found at http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls and http://www.gnutls.org Security issues fixed with this release:
CVE-2014-3467 Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the DER decoder in GNU Libtasn1 before 3.6, as used in GnutTLS, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted ASN.1 data.
CVE-2014-3468 The asn1_get_bit_der function in GNU Libtasn1 before 3.6 does not properly report an error when a negative bit length is identified, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause out-of-bounds access via crafted ASN.1 data.
CVE-2014-3469 The (1) asn1_read_value_type and (2) asn1_read_value functions in GNU Libtasn1 before 3.6 allows context- dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) via a NULL value in an ivalue argument.
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.
