high Nessus Plugin ID 291591

Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the AXSA:2015-743:01 advisory.

 A set of commands to use the XFS filesystem, including mkfs.xfs.
 XFS is a high performance journaling filesystem which originated on the SGI IRIX platform. It is completely multi-threaded, can support large files and large filesystems, extended attributes, variable block sizes, is extent based, and makes extensive use of Btrees (directories, extents, free space) to aid both performance and scalability.
 Refer to the documentation at http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/ for complete details. This implementation is on-disk compatible with the IRIX version of XFS.
 Security issues fixed with this release:
 CVE-2012-2150 xfs_metadump in xfsprogs before 3.2.4 does not properly obfuscate file data, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading a generated image.

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 xfsprogs package.
