Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the hesiod package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - The read_config_file function in lib/hesiod.c in Hesiod 3.2.1 falls back to the '.athena.mit.edu' default domain when opening the configuration file fails, which allows remote attackers to gain root privileges by poisoning the DNS cache. (CVE-2016-10152)
