Mac OS X : OS X Server < 3.0 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 70590

Synopsis

The remote host is missing a security update for OS X Server.

Description

The remote Mac OS X host has a version of OS X Server installed that is prior to 3.0. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- A denial of service vulnerability exists in the included JSON Ruby Gem, which can be abused to exhaust all available memory resources. (CVE-2013-0269)

- Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities exist in the included Ruby on Rails software. (CVE-2013-1854 / CVE-2013-1855 / CVE-2013-1856 / CVE-2013-1857)

- A buffer overflow exists in the included FreeRADIUS software that can be triggered when parsing the 'not after' timestamp in a client certificate when using TLS-based EAP methods. (CVE-2012-3547)

- A logic issue exists whereby the RADIUS service could choose an incorrect certificate from a list of configured certificates.

Solution

Upgrade to Mac OS X Server version 3.0 or later.
