medium Nessus Plugin ID 150520

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES11 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2020:14414-1 advisory.

- Mutt before 1.14.3 allows an IMAP fcc/postpone man-in-the-middle attack via a PREAUTH response.
(CVE-2020-14093)

- Mutt before 1.14.3 proceeds with a connection even if, in response to a GnuTLS certificate prompt, the user rejects an expired intermediate certificate. (CVE-2020-14154)

- Mutt before 1.14.4 and NeoMutt before 2020-06-19 have a STARTTLS buffering issue that affects IMAP, SMTP, and POP3. When a server sends a begin TLS response, the client reads additional data (e.g., from a man- in-the-middle attacker) and evaluates it in a TLS context, aka response injection. (CVE-2020-14954)

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 mutt package.
