Mac OS X : OS X Server < 2.1.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 62801

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is missing an update for OS X Server that fixes several security issues.

Description

The remote Mac OS X 10.8 host has a version of OS X Server installed that is prior to 2.1.1. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- When the xml2 contrib module is enabled in PostgreSQL, an unprivileged database user can read or write arbitrary files, subject to the privileges under which the PostgreSQL server runs, when processing specially- crafted XSLT documents. (CVE-2012-3488)

- An unprivileged database user can read arbitrary files, subject to the privileges under which the PostgreSQL server runs, because 'xml_parse()' attempts to fetch external files or URLs as needed to resolve DTD and entity references in an XML value. (CVE-2012-3489)

- A malicious XMPP server can spoof domains via a Verify Response or an Authorization Response because the Jabber server processes unsolicited XMPP Server Dialback responses. (CVE-2012-3525)

Solution

Upgrade to Mac OS X Server version 2.1.1 or later.
