Synopsis

The CentOS Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The CentOS Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare CENTOS6:CLSA-2026:1781623309 advisory.

 - A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in mod_proxy_ftp's HTML directory list generation in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.67 and earlier when listing FTP directory contents either via forward or reverse proxy configuration. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.68, which fixes this issue.
 (CVE-2026-29170)

 - A path handling issue in mod_dav_fs in Apache 2.4.67 and earlier allows a WebDAV content author to directly manipulate trusted DAV property databases, potentially causing child process crashes. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.68, which fixes this issue. (CVE-2026-42535)

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