low Nessus Plugin ID 27904

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

Yan Rong Ge discovered that heartbeat did not set proper permissions for an allocated shared memory segment. A local attacker could exploit this to render the heartbeat service unavailable (Denial of Service).
