Fedora 44 : mstflint (2026-7092a043be)

high Nessus Plugin ID 378693

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Fedora 44 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-7092a043be advisory.

 mstfwmanager now verifies TLS peers of www.mellanox.com against the system CA trust store (libcurl's default) instead of the private, stale Mozilla root store copy shipped in /etc/mstflint/ca-bundle.crt a July 2021 snapshot that still trusted roots removed or distrusted since, including those involved in the eMudhra intermediate CA compromise. The private bundle file is no longer shipped; --ssl-certificate still works for passing a custom CA bundle.

 Backport of https://github.com/Mellanox/mstflint/pull/2090


Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora 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 mstflint package.
