MS13-006: Vulnerability in Microsoft Windows Could Allow Security Feature Bypass (2785220) (uncredentialed check)
medium Nessus Plugin ID 63643
Language:
Synopsis
The remote host is affected by a security feature bypass vulnerability.Description
The remote host contains a flaw in the handling of SSL version 3 (SSLv3) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocols. An attacker can inject specially crafted content into an SSL/TLS session, which could allow an attacker to bypass security features of SSLv3 and TLS protocols in order to intercept communications.Note that this plugin only tests Microsoft IIS HTTPS and TLS-capable FTP servers, which are known to use MS13-006 update files. Other SSL/TLS implementations may also be affected. To test all SSL/TLS services Nessus finds, configure the 'Report paranoia' preference setting to 'Paranoid (more false alarms).'
Solution
Microsoft has released a set of patches for Windows Vista, 2008, 7, 2008 R2, 8, and 2012.For other SSL/TLS implementations, contact the vendor for updates.
