Scientific Linux Security Update : conga on SL5.x i386/x86_64 (20130108)

low Nessus Plugin ID 63592

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

It was discovered that luci stored usernames and passwords in session cookies. This issue prevented the session inactivity timeout feature from working correctly, and allowed attackers able to get access to a session cookie to obtain the victim's authentication credentials.
(CVE-2012-3359)

This update also fixes the following bugs :

- Prior to this update, luci did not allow the fence_apc_snmp agent to be configured. As a consequence, users could not configure or view an existing configuration for fence_apc_snmp. This update adds a new screen that allows fence_apc_snmp to be configured.

- Prior to this update, luci did not allow the SSL operation of the fence_ilo fence agent to be enabled or disabled. As a consequence, users could not configure or view an existing configuration for the 'ssl' attribute for fence_ilo. This update adds a checkbox to show whether the SSL operation is enabled and allows users to edit that attribute.

- Prior to this update, luci did not allow the 'identity_file' attribute of the fence_ilo_mp fence agent to be viewed or edited. As a consequence, users could not configure or view an existing configuration for the 'identity_file' attribute of the fence_ilo_mp fence agent. This update adds a text input box to show the current state of the 'identity_file' attribute of fence_ilo_mp and allows users to edit that attribute.

- Prior to this update, redundant files and directories remained on the file system at /var/lib/luci/var/pts and /usr/lib{,64}/luci/zope/var/pts when the luci package was uninstalled. This update removes these files and directories when the luci package is uninstalled.

- Prior to this update, the 'restart-disable' recovery policy was not displayed in the recovery policy list from which users could select when they configure a recovery policy for a failover domain. As a consequence, the 'restart-disable' recovery policy could not be set with the luci GUI. This update adds the 'restart-disable' recovery option to the recovery policy pulldown list.

- Prior to this update, line breaks that were not anticipated in the 'yum list' output could cause package upgrade and/or installation to fail when creating clusters or adding nodes to existing clusters. As a consequence, creating clusters and adding cluster nodes to existing clusters could fail. This update modifies the ricci daemon to be able to correctly handle line breaks in the 'yum list' output.

In addition, this update adds the following enhancements :

- This update adds support for configuring the Intel iPDU fence agent to the luci package.

- This update adds support for viewing and changing the state of the new 'nfsrestart' attribute to the FS and Cluster FS resource agent configuration screens.

After installing this update, the luci and ricci services will be restarted automatically.

Solution

Update the affected conga-debuginfo, luci and / or ricci packages.
