medium Nessus Plugin ID 72814

Language:

New! Plugin Severity Now Using CVSS v3

The calculated severity for Plugins has been updated to use CVSS v3 by default. Plugins that do not have a CVSS v3 score will fall back to CVSS v2 for calculating severity. Severity display preferences can be toggled in the settings dropdown.

Synopsis

An application on the remote host is affected by a directory traversal vulnerability.

Description

The remote host has a version of Novell ZENworks Configuration Management installed prior to 11 SP3 (11.3.0.35304). It is, therefore, affected by a directory traversal vulnerability due to improper validation of an unspecified parameter of the PreBoot Service when reading files. A remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to read arbitrary files.

Solution

Upgrade to Novell ZENworks SP3 (11.3.0.35304) or later.
