high Nessus Plugin ID 69620

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux AMI host is missing a security update.

Description

Munin before 2.0.6 stores plugin state files that run as root in the same group-writable directory as non-root plugins, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code by replacing a state file, as demonstrated using the smart_ plugin.

Solution

Run 'yum update munin' to update your system.
