high Nessus Plugin ID 172440

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a security misconfiguration vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the remote SonicWall firewall is running a version of SonicOS that is affected by a security misconfiguration vulnerability, due to improper restriction of excessive MFA attempts in the SonicOS SSLVPN interface, which may allow a remote authenticated attacker to use excessive MFA codes.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the firewall's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to the relevant fixed version referenced in the vendor security advisory.
