Synopsis

The remote Oracle Linux host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Oracle Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2011-1533 advisory.

 - Updated patch for CVE-2011-3636 to include CR in the HTTP headers.
 xmlrpc-c in RHEL-6 doesn't suppose the dont_advertise option so that is not set any more. Another fake header, X-Original-User_Agent, is added so there is no more trailing junk after the Referer header. (#749870)
 - Require an HTTP Referer header to address CSRF attackes. CVE-2011-3636.
 (#749870)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.
