low Nessus Plugin ID 60244

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Scientific Linux host is missing a security update.

Description

A flaw was discovered in the way file checksums were stored in the AIDE database. A packaging flaw in the Red Hat AIDE rpm resulted in the file database not containing any file checksum information. This could prevent AIDE from detecting certain file modifications.
(CVE-2007-3849)

This update also fixes the following bugs :

- certain configurations could result in a segmentation fault upon initialization.

- AIDE was unable to open its log file in the LSPP evaluated configuration.

- if AIDE found SELinux context differences, the changed files report it generated only included the first 32 characters of the context.

Solution

Update the affected aide package.
