Fedora Core 5 : mono-1.1.13.7-3.fc5.1 (2007-068)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 24198

Synopsis

The remote Fedora Core host is missing a security update.

Description

A security problem was found and fixed in mono class libraries that affects the Mono web server implementation.

By appending spaces to URLs attackers could download the source code of ASP.net scripts that would normally get executed by the web server.

After upgrading the packages you need to restart any running mono web server.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
