Blue Coat ProxySG Local User Modification Race Condition

high Nessus Plugin ID 72726

Synopsis

The remote device is potentially affected by a race condition issue.

Description

The remote Blue Coat ProxySG device's SGOS self-reported version is prior to 6.5.4.0. It is, therefore, potentially affected by a race condition issue during the time before the new changes take effect after a local user account modification due to configuration caching. User account modifications include password changes, user account deletion, or the addition or removal of a user account to a user list.

Note that this issue only affects user accounts using local realm authentication.

Solution

Upgrade to version 6.5.4.0 or refer to the vendor.
