Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the AXSA:2009-430:01 advisory.

GNU Libtool is a set of shell scripts which automatically configure UNIX and UNIX-like systems to generically build shared libraries. Libtool provides a consistent, portable interface which simplifies the process of using shared libraries.
If you are developing programs which will use shared libraries, but do not use the rest of the GNU Autotools (such as GNU Autoconf and GNU Automake), you should install the libtool package.
The libtool package also includes all files needed to integrate the GNU Portable Library Tool (libtool) and the GNU Libtool Dynamic Module Loader (ltdl) into a package built using the GNU Autotools (including GNU Autoconf and GNU Automake).
This package includes a modification from the original GNU Libtool to allow support for multi-architecture systems, such as the AMD64 Opteron and the Intel 64-bit Xeon.
Security bugs fixed with this release;
CVE-2009-3736 ltdl.c in libltdl in GNU Libtool 1.5.x, and 2.2.6 before 2.2.6b, attempts to open a .la file in the current working directory, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse file.

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 libtool, libtool-ltdl and / or libtool-ltdl-devel packages.
