Synopsis
The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update.
Description
The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2013:1205 advisory.
Red Hat Storage is a software only, scale-out storage solution that provides flexible and agile unstructured data storage for the enterprise.
Multiple insecure temporary file creation flaws were found in Red Hat Storage server. A local user on the Red Hat Storage server could use these flaws to cause arbitrary files to be overwritten as the root user via a symbolic link attack. (CVE-2013-4157)
These issues were discovered by Gowrishankar Rajaiyan of Red Hat and Kurt Seifried of the Red Hat Security Response Team.
This update also fixes the following bugs:
* Previously, rolling upgrades on a volume caused some processes to abort which led to a possible corruption of the volume. Yum update aborts with a message to stop the volume during an update. Now, with this update rolling upgrades is not supported and it is mandatory to stop the volume before any 'yum update'. (BZ#998649)
* Installing or upgrading the gluster-swift-plugin RPM overwrites /etc/swift configuration files. Hence, the customer configuration is overwritten, causing data unavailability. Now, the RPM installs or upgrades new configuration files with a non-conflicting extension and customer configuration files are not overwritten, maintaining data availability.
(BZ#997940, BZ#1000423)
This update also adds the following enhancement:
* A new upgrade script has been added. When Red Hat Storage Server 2.1 is released, this script will help users upgrade and resubscribe their Red Hat Storage Server 2.0 Update 6 systems to Red Hat Storage Server 2.1.
(BZ#1002872)
All users of Red Hat Storage are advised to upgrade to these updated packages.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Update the affected packages.
