high Nessus Plugin ID 291489

Synopsis

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2013-371:01 advisory.

 - ibacm before 1.0.6 does not properly manage reference counts for multicast connections, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (ibacm service crash) via a crafted join response.
 (CVE-2012-4517)

 - ibacm 1.0.7 creates files with world-writable permissions, which allows local users to overwrite the ib_acm daemon log or ibacm.port file. (CVE-2012-4518)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
