Synopsis
The remote Red Hat 6 host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities that will not be patched.Description
The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.- dbus: denial of service when forwarding invalid file descriptors (CVE-2014-3533)
- The dbus-daemon in D-Bus 1.2.x through 1.4.x, 1.6.x before 1.6.20, and 1.8.x before 1.8.4, sends an AccessDenied error to the service instead of a client when the client is prohibited from accessing the service, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (initialization failure and exit) or possibly conduct a side-channel attack via a D-Bus message to an inactive service. (CVE-2014-3477)
- dbus 1.3.0 before 1.6.22 and 1.8.x before 1.8.6, when running on Linux 2.6.37-rc4 or later, allows local users to cause a denial of service (system-bus disconnect of other services or applications) by sending a message containing a file descriptor, then exceeding the maximum recursion depth before the initial message is forwarded. (CVE-2014-3532)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.
