medium Nessus Plugin ID 67282

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This update ensures that digest modules are only loaded from absolute paths in @INC, avoiding a potential arbitrary code execution problem (CVE-2013-2145).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected perl-Module-Signature package.
