Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Oracle Linux 5 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2009-1102 advisory.

 [15.5-15.1.el5_3.1]
 - Release bump to create newer nvr despite dist tag change (fc6 -> el5)

 [15.5-15.el5_3.4]
 - Merge incdir-overflow and snprintf patches for better readability, snprintf is used now with PATHLEN limit without other adjustments, related strlen / %.*s / *_len are no longer needed and were dropped
 - Update tempsec patch, drop extraneous s(n)printf argument to suppress compiler warnings
 - Update fscanf-overflows patch to perform reffile argument length check earlier, now also includes strlen-adjust-fix patch

 [15.5-15.el5_3.3]
 - Correcting buffer overflow fix (bz 499200)

 [15.5-15.el5_3.2]
 - Fix some buffer overflows (bz 499200)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
